Marty Links was the creator of the comic strip “Emmy Lou” which ran in newspapers all over the world for over 35 years. Marty Links was a pioneer-- a woman cartoonist at a time when the cartoon business was really a boy’s club. For over 40 years, Marty would whisk through the San Francisco Chronicle city room delivering a weekly batch of cartoons with the same gusto as Emmy Lou would.

I thought Bieber was a girl.

I’m actually dismayed by the substitution. I would really like to know who Emmy Lou’s original heartthrob was!

Justin Bieber? I think this strip was orginally before his mother was born.

To me, the whole point of this strip is the nostalgia. So, who were the objects of fourteen-year-old girls’ affections in 1970??? I was in college then, diggin’ The Lovin’ Spoonful, Jefferson Airplane, Laura Nyro…but I have no idea what the youngsters were listening to then.

No fair! I was rockin’ along enjoying the groove and this just harshed my mellow! Who was she really crushing on? Davy Jones? Bobby Sherman? C’mon – don’t edit for (blech) modern tastes – please!

Okay, that’s been edited. Far more likely to have been a Cassidy brother.

Don’t know about Emmy Lou, but Davy Jones and Bobby Sherman were the stuff of which MY pre-adolescent dreams were made

Copyright 1970? If it wasn’t Bobby Sherman, which my money’s on, it could only have been David Cassidy.

I think Emmy Lou really has a bit of a dark side which means she was probably fantasizing about Jim Morrison.
