At this point in time, Roy looks like a loud-mouth, judging by his depiction in the two panels. He’s not really a loud-mouth now, though. He’s a geek who’s sure he knows more than most, but doesn’t usually flaunt it in an overt manner.…Really cool history, guys. Looking forward to next week.
The early 60’s were a carryover of the 50’s, and the early 70’s were a remnant of the late 60’s. The tempo of the decades was changing in the middle, not at the rollover of the zeroes.
Ah, Sue is back again. Sue is always distinctive with her large earrings, although in the “modern” strips her earrings are always green, as I recall.
It’s nice also to see CJ having an important role in these historic strips. I’m betting that she will be more prominent over the next few decades, with the emphasis on youth in the media and advertising.
Does everyone remember that Lois from “Hi and Lois” and Beetle Bailey are sister and brother? I was a big fan of both strips in the early 1960’s.It is striking how the Sunday WD looks like Mort Walker’s work! Are we sure Mort Walker wasn’t simply moonlighting as “Frank Wyler”? Or maybe vice versa… or someone…?

Business casual means it has no rips, stains, or cut-outs. That will be formal wear next year based on what I see at work.Gracias,Glenn

Rita kinda looks like she’s related to Beetle Baily. Plus, they had drones back in the 50’s

I was thinking the same thing about the Hi and Lois look, esp. the women. The blonde running from the shake machine definitely looks like Lois.

I believe the strip you’re thinking of was “Lolly,” which was part of the Chicago Tribune syndicate’s roster of strips.
Next week is the 60s? Then the following week should be when we see “WD” imitating “Doonesbury” and “Bloom County.”

The artwork on this “history” feature is extraordinary. A lot of fun to read.
