News Around the Kingdom: MARCHING ON

by The Court Jester

March is here, and so is this week’s parade of News Around the Kingdom.

 

Blast back to the past each week with Brian Walker’s informative blogs on comic history! This week, Brian rewinds to 1973 to examine the art of the classic “wallpaper gag” with BEETLE BAILEY’s Sarge and get some groovy fashion tips from Lois of HI & LOIS. 

 

Volume 7 of Tom Batiuk’s THE COMPLETE FUNKY WINKERBEAN is out now, covering the gutsy 1992 fast-forward time jump that thrust the teens of Westview High into adulthood and a whole new era of timely, thought-provoking stories. Get your copy here or contact your local bookstore, then pop into one of Tom’s upcoming events to get it signed in person.

 Keep moving forward, and we’ll see you again next week!
