Over the years I have shown as many samples of Gill Fox' Bumper to Bumper strip as possible. This funny and delightlfully drawn strip was exclusive to the New York Sunday News and was used whever there was room. Gill Fox (like a couple of other filler cartoonists) dropped off a couple every year and there is no rhyme or reason to which dates they were used. A complete list was never made and would be hard to compile unless you have a complete set of Sundays. Luckily, my friend Michael Vassello is slowly getting there ánd he is scanning everything. So I gues at some point we may end up with every strip done between 1956 and 1963 or 1964. An additional problem Michael discovered is the fcat that there are differences between the city and country editions of the paper, which as you can see here sometimes led to the same strip being used on different dates.
Here at least are all the ones I have gathered over the years - plus three new ones.
