    In tne Sunday papers of my childhood and youth, the colors struck out as rather garish. The "never went anywhere" is also a striking feature. IIRC, there was a panel of text starting "Our story ..." That gave way to nine or ten panels that were incomprehensible with or without the summary.

    That's the problem that I always had with weekly strips. You kind of forget what was going on from one week to the next.

    This may be so with some weeklies but not with Prince Valiant since the stories developed so slowly. The answer to, what was going on last week, is basically the same that is going on this week.

    A couple decades ago I was visiting a friend. He asked me if I ever saw the final episode of the BBC/PBS series, The Prisoner. I had not. He put in his video tape.

    It was totally incomprehensible. My host was stunned that I wasn't getting it. He'd assumed, mistakenly, that I was a regular viewer of the show, whereas, in reality, I had never seen it, ever.

    I have a vague memory of thinking "this is like Prince Valiant on Sunday mornings!"

    That might be it.

    By the way, my favorite internet bookstore has a lot of the comics in book form.

    It's a lot like watching a tv documentary theses days.
    They start the story, go to ads. Then get back and show you what you saw before the ads. ( just in case you had forgotten) then they add a piece, go to ads.....
    So in an hour show you get 6 minutes of story line.
    Almost like weekly strip cartoons. :)

    Close this one and start the Chelsea one, since she's being "groomed" for Congress, because what we need is more Clintons in public life.

    Maybe take a couple generations off.

    Nah. This shit's going away because they don't need it anymore. Besides, the elite look out for their own.
