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.

A giant candy cane with nuts in it? Does anybody know what the deal is?

I don’t get it either. It’s amazing that the culture has changed so much in less than a century that a lot of this strip’s humor is lost on us.

Okay, D. Dan, I guess I’m still over thinking it. Explain, please!

Okay, only because (as Skippy himself might say) Mr. Crosby ain’t around to draw ya a picher . . .
The joke is on Mortimer, who thinks he can take a candy cane back to the candy store after he’s broken it up.
