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.

Maybe he’s caught the flu after being outdoors in the winter wearing shorts, in yesterday’s strip.

You’l know he’s faking it if he magically recovers, just in time for dessert.

Back in Skippy’s day, all the little boys wore shorts year ’round (though they may have been wool shorts in the winter), as well as socks that were supposed to come up to their knees. You knew you were a big boy when you finally got to wear long pants!

Sounds fair to me. Though if he truly doesn’t feel good he may not feel like eating.
