Tuesday Comic Strip Day
In one of the interviews surrounding the release of the Tall Tales book, Al Jaffee mentioned that later on in the run he was forced by the editors of the Herald Tribune to add dialogue to his daily gags. In his opinion it really hurt the strip, which essentially was a silent gag panel. Even though the jokes didn't seem to suffer, it sure didn't help his overseas sales. The strip ended somewhere in early 1964. Since I am waiting to do some more color scans for this strip, here are a couple of those later dailies, accompaied by some more black and white samples of the Sunday.
