Recommended Newspaper Strips
Posted: 05 Aug 2011, 13:17
I wonder if there was such an idea as to suggest newspaper strips for others to read? I've been following this American strip online for quite a few years now. Even though it's been available to view, for free, on internet (and in my inbox) it hasn't stopped me from buying their compilation books.
The dailies used to be in black and white only, with the Sundays being in colour. The Sundays tend to be a one-off story whereas the dailies is in a sort of serial. This example is in colour, which I think is what they're doing all the time now.

Basically it's about a wise-ass Siamese Cat (with a bronx accent) called Bucky, and a dim-witted but loveable Labrador Dog called Satchel. The human owner is Rob, who works in advertising.
Bucky is full of big ideas, to match his own big ego. Most of them consist of power and money-making. Satchel just likes to eat things and give out hugs. He's a sensitive soul who constantly gets put-down by Bucky, but always has Rob to back him up.
Anyway, I thought I'd like to share this with you all. And if anyone else has recommendations for other strips that we don't get the chance to read in the UK, I'd be happy to see them.
Oh, one last point, with this being a ComicsUK site, is it ok to be chatting about American comic art, or shall I drop this thread?
Thanks, y'all!
