GoComics is delighted to re-introduce "Skippy." The legendary comic created by Percy Crosby debuted in 1923 and ran in newspapers until 1945.
Hailed by critics, fellow cartoonists and readers as a "classic," it's easy to see how "Skippy" inspired comics like "Peanuts" and "Calvin and Hobbes." We hope you enjoy this glimpse back in time with one of the most-beloved characters of the mid-20th Century.

Do any bars still have a rail for your foot? It’s a great pose.

And here fellow artist’s we see it’s OK to break the 180* rule (see panel 3).

Apart from the lettering, Crosby’s art could totally survive the miniaturization of comics we’ve been undergoing. (Line art clinic, indeed! Good phrase.)
