Okay, I’ve got a question about identifying an old strip, and I swear that anybody who can answer will be put in my will! I saw a strip in the paper (probably between 1988 and 1998) that showed a man and woman talking to a doctor. I can’t remember if he was a regular doctor, a shrink or a vet, but they wanted to know why their cat liked her but not him. The man said “Why doesn’t the cat like me?” and the doctor said “Let me ’splain,” and pulled down a screen chart covered with pics of electric tools and the lawnmower and said that the cat didn’t like the guy because he smelled of oil and machinery and cats don’t like that. Then the woman said “Well, then, why does the cat like ME?” and the doctor again said “Let me ’splain” and pulled down another big screen…with a picture of a fish on it. I laughed until there was pain involved and meant to save it, but I didn’t and now I can’t remember which strip it was. It was one about ordinary people, like Sally Forth or Rose is Rose, but I can’t remember. Anybody out there have a better memory than mine?

I am a teacher, and there was a curtis comic strip where curtis was playing basketball with another boy, when he realized he had to come home for dinner. The other boy said ‘my parents don’t care how late I stay out’, which curtis kept thinking about on the way home until he isolated the phrase ‘my parents don’t care.’ If you have any idea of the date that comic was printed or the title, or where I can find it, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you for your time.

My father used to call us by nicknames. My sister’s was Baby Dookins/Dukens/Dukins? Not sure of the spelling. He told us it was from an old comic strip in the 40’s. Dad’s gone now and I don’t remember the name of the comic strip and never knew how to spell Baby Dookins…. Anybody out there have any idea what I’m talking about?

All of the links for “Heart of the City” are broken. It’s one of my favorite strips and was recently dropped by Northern N.J.’s largest newspaper, the Star-Ledger. I miss it terribly.

How does one get the Sunday Comics from the Chronicle. Is there something to put in he URL. Comics.Com has been down for a couple of days so there are some Sunday Comics I can not get from other papers.

I am a librarian at a public library who is helping one of our patron to find the Spider-Man comic strips which ran from December 1993 to February 1994 — does anyone know which newspapers this might have run in?

Thank you.

This is a great site. If you happen to miss a couple of days it is easy to catch up. Archives of Funky Winkerbean were sometimes hard to find….not anymore.

I was looking to find some “Far Side” comics. Do you know anywhere that I might be able to find them, or if you are able to put them on your site?
