More Changes To The Archives
August 20, 2009Alright, so it looks like the Houston Chronicle has reactivated the color archives, going back pretty far. The black and white archives are still struggling though,. and I believe I have a solution. I hope to have most of the black and white strips linked to good archives within a week or so.
Also, I’m hoping to start featuring WebComics soon. There are a lot of good ones out there, and hopefully I can help you find some great comics you’ve never heard of. I’m sure there are good web comincs that I don’t know about, so feel free to suggest some to me.
Also, my day job is as a web designer, running Baltimore Website Design and Porcupine Website Design. If you are in need of web design services, please keep me in mind. Thanks!
9CWL? Please?

Greetings, my friends,
So, people of Comic Strip Archive (do you also work for the Houston Chronicle?), I am not exactly sure what I am doing, but, apparently, this is where I can contact you. I have some important questions on one of the strips you have archived. I have enjoyed doing the Jumble for many years. I think it is a very institutional puzzle. I also do Crossword Puzzles; the puzzle page is my favorite page in the paper. I mean, with news being like it is, it’s really helps, when I can open up the paper and see something like that. Anyway, I am someone who likes to keep track of things, and has a very accurate memory. And, I see you have the Jumble archived back to 1/1/2001. But, I notice that you can only see the features from one month ago to the day you look it up. And also, it doesn’t include the Sunday’s, even from the last month. I know how on Sunday, they have 6 words all with 6 letters, as opposed to the Mon-Sat 4 words (1st 2, 5 letters, last 2, 6 letters). But, I really was wondering how I could get access to those old Jumbles that you have archived, or how I could activate them. I’d really like to see those features. If you could do so, please, as soon as you can write me back, and tell me how it may be possible to gain access to those Jumbles, because that would be a great, and wonderful favor. I would love to see those old features. So, do what you can, and tell me what’s possible. I really would highly appreciate it, if I could see them. That certain page in any paper, I feel is very important. Thank you very, very much for your time, and help. It would mean a great deal to me, if I could see these. So, thanks a lot, and I appreciate you reading my letter.
All the best,
Mr. M. Kalny

Howdy,
If, when you find the B&W links, you can find a link to the original Robotman strip (like the Chronicle had…), that’d be great. Monty’s okay, but I really miss the little guy since he went of to save the galaxy . . .
Keep up the good work, and hope to see the B&W’s soon!
thanx!

I’m trying to find the Family Circus cartoon of the two boys watching soccer on tv where the caption reads “the reason they can play that good is their parents aren’t yelling at them from the sidelines.” The number reads 2-13 I think but not sure what year or where else to look…any help is appreciated.

Hello,
Unfortunately, the archives on the Houston Chronicle only go back to 2005, and none of the 2/13 strips in any of those years are the one you describe. Unless you are able to search through the book compilations (check your local library), I’m not sure how else you could find it. Good luck!

Trying to find Zits strip with punchline “I just hope it was the Mott the Hoople Christmas Album” May be before 2004. Can you help?

I am NOT able to access comics from this website. When I tried a random date from each year for Non Sequitur, and reached the Houston Chronicle site, the response was “This feature is unavailable.”
