Hopping Through The Ages
Sunday Surprise day.
For today's surprise I am showing quite a later strip than usual. Conrad is a mid eighties fantasy set in a fairy tale world of princesses, frogs and hairy godmothers. Artist Bill Schor was one of a host of political cartoonists who tried to follow Jeff McNelly's succes with his 1977 hit Shoe. I remember seeing this strip on my first trips to the US and being very impressed. I hope you enjoy them, there is more to come.
never seen this strip. good find!
ReplyDeleteI have two months of daileis as well, but scanning and cleaning those is a bitch.
ReplyDeleteShould you need help I can knock them out. I'm struggling with the Fritzi Ritz 1920s run because of date inconsistencies between papers and poor sources.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly appreciate the dailies. Let me see which two months I have. Maybe just the first and last month?
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for Conrad online for years - I was beginning to think I had imagined the whole thing. I loved it as a kid, so THANK YOU for posting these!
ReplyDeleteMore to come!
ReplyDeleteThese have a REAL strong Vaughn Bode feel, I'm guessing Schorr and "Conrad" were influenced by Bode, who became known starting in the late 1960's
