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!
I have two months of daileis as well, but scanning and cleaning those is a bitch.
Should 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.
I would certainly appreciate the dailies. Let me see which two months I have. Maybe just the first and last month?
I'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!
More to come!
These 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
