    Anyone care to estimate how old Walt is?

    I think he’s supposed to be around 107 or so…

    Sure hope lil Boog there likes the comics as much as Walt did when he was a kid. Sure hate to see the funnies disappear because kids dont or wont read them.

    Oh the comics that have disappeared and I am really dating myself here… Our Boarding House, Little Iodine, Freckles and his Friends, Captian Easy, Steve Canyon, Out Our Way, They’ll Do it Every Time and many others like that.

    Smoky Stover - one of the great early absurdist comics -

    Smokey was still around when I was a kid.
    Kids dont or wont read them !? How can they, when in a few years they’ll need a STEM* to do it and who can afford one of those ?
    If anyone will answer this. Does going PRO give you a larger strip display, besides no commercials and archives ?

    In 6th grade, we were introduced to microfilm: entire books on a postage stamp sized piece of film. They had free samples of the King James Bible and I used to read it with a 300X microscope - just because it was cool.

    For the uninformed: The comix Walt was referring to are Mutt & Jeff, Toonerville Trolley, and Abby & Slats.
    At guess at age 100+, one can expect to be a bit senile.

    Walt is 110, born in 1898. He’s old enough to have read Thimble Theatre when Castor Oyl was the lead character and Barney Google when it was about horse racing–not to mention having two different versions of the Katzenjammer Kids to choose from.

    Thanks for the history Paul 1963. I would’ve liked to have seen the Barney Googles’s and 2? Katzenjammers.
