SOL 10: Newspaper Comics

I haven’t seen newspaper comics in decades. But in my trip to San Diego last month, my hotel provided a free Sunday copy of the San Diego Times-Union, which included a four-page insert of many, many comics. There were old favorites (Peanuts, Hagar the Horrible, the Family Circus, Doonesbury, and who knew Mary Worth still existed), as well as strips I’ve never heard of (Foxtrot, Pearls Before Swine, the Other Coast). It was fun to be reacquainted and acquainted. And they reminded me of online comics I’ve come to enjoy, xkcd first and foremost.
