Beware of Toddler

Two years ago, on Father’s Day 2022, Beware of Toddler debuted on Comics Kingdom.

Happy Black History Month! At Comics Kingdom, we’re excited as we celebrate Black History Month. It’s a special time for us to shine the spotlight on the incredible black voices and creators who have shaped our world of comics. These talented individuals have enriched the Comics Kingdom legacy and brought us joy, laughter, and thought-provoking stories through their art. Black History Month is a time to honor and celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout U.S. history. It’s also a crucial period for engaging in meaningful conversations about racism, slavery, equality, and the remarkable black leaders whose legacies continue to inspire us every day. Comics are like little packets of joy, and here at Comics Kingdom, we’re proud to be a melting pot of cartoon creativity. Each comic strip we house tells a story rich with emotion, humor, and, sometimes, a little bit of magic. This month, we’re excited to share a curated list of comics from some of our cherished and exceptionally talented black creators. Their work ranges from the hilariously relatable to the beautifully fantastical, often inspired by personal experiences and life’s many twists and turns. […]

Hi, all! I hope you are recovering from your Thanksgiving feasts if you celebrate! Today, Saturday, November 26, is a very important day for comics history: the 100th birthday of Charles “Sparky” Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, one of the most beloved comic strips of all time. Usually, we only post about birthdays related to King Features comics, but Mr. Schulz was such an inspiration and good friend to so many of our cartoonists and had so much influence on the direction of not just comics but pop culture in the 20th century that we wanted to celebrate his legacy. Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS, spearheaded this project in collaboration with the Charles M. Schulz Museum to celebrate this special birthday! As you look around Comics Kingdom today, you will see many of cartoonists have contributed to this celebration by honoring Mr. Schulz in their comic strips. Here is a collection where you can see them all together!
