The Elderberries by Corey Pandolph and Phil Frank and Joe Troise
Endtown by Aaron Neathery
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.
