I used to follow Alan Holtz' Stripper's Guide blog religiously, but I have to admit I have fallen prey to the same Facebook inspired laziness/lack of time that hinders my blog. For todays offering I went back to it, because I remembered reading about this odd little strip in one of his posts (http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2013/01/obscurity-of-day-yankee-doodles.html).
Yankee Doodles was one of the strips created to go along with the 200 year Independence fever that swept America in the seventies. It started early, in 1973 and predicted quickly after the actual 200 year aniversary in 1976. My samples are mostly later, but I had to cut them in two lots to be able to show you these earlier ones first. The rest will come later. The art is by Ben Templeton and the gags are okay. All in all it was more of an oddity (although I do like Ben Franklin).
