Thanks for sharing. It’s really not easy to get more information about the early comic books with no superheroes.

You just have to include boondocks as a great comic strip for it to become such a phenomenon in animation.

Wow, that was so neat. Very fun and informative. So many I'd heard of but had not really gotten a chance to see. Ooohh the memories!
