Comic Strips have been around for generations and never fail to make people laugh. Although the newspaper industry isn’t doing well, comic strips have progressed to another medium…the Internet. As long as there are creators with vivid imaginations and a flair for wit and humor, the marketplace for the comic strip will never become too crowded.
Here you can see a comic strip that suffered from the shortage of cartoonists in the post-world war II newsprint shortage…you can take it for what it was – it seemed to have loyal readers who enjoyed the comic strip … even though it doesn’t make much sense in the world that we live in today.

This portion at the left is the exact size of the original drawing which was made twice its size.
Getting started on a comic strip is not an easy task 0 you must put your heart and soul into it .. sincerely believe in it … stay with it .. and above all – NEVER BECOME DISCOURAGED WHILE WORKING ON IT!

And now the toughest part, getting the idea!
