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.

Monocles had to be very uncomfortable.

Hey, I made it to week #3 of the cartoon contest. I urge you to check it out. If you like it give me a vote. If not give your vote to someone else. You can vote more than once through out the week. Come take a look.

Monocles were stupid, which Skippy is showing here with his childhood innocent remark. If someone really has one bad eye, it makes much more sense to wear glasses with a fake plain lens for the good eye. Monocles were probably more often worn only as a fashion statement, like this dapper upper-crust guy above.

Monocles were prob’ly a trendy snob thing like the jerks at Chinese restaurants who like to show off that they can use chopsticks while the rest of us use forks.

I didn’t realize I was a jerk in Chinese restaurants.

If you have grown up using chopsticks, it is easier to eat Chinese food with chopsticks than with a fork. Also, Chinese food doesn’t taste the same when eaten with a fork. Something about the metal, I think.
