Neat ...

... Bill Griffith's Bukowski; or Why Rex Morgan Doesn't Cut the Cheese.

When I worked at The Inquirer, I routinely urged them to pick up Zippy the Pinhead. Too hip for them, however (reader surveys indicated as many people disliked the strip as liked it).

  1. More than five decades ago when, as a teenager made for ALL comic strips, I wrote my hometown newspaper wondering why it did not carry "Pogo," the editor wrote back saying it appealed only to college students and other such elites, or something like that. I didn't belong to either -- nor did most of the people in my town -- so almost every day I put out five cents of my hard-acquired income to buy an out-of-town newspaper in which it appeared. That's when five cents was five cents, and it was money well spent.
