Re: Last Week's Sunday Comic Strip (June 11, 1939) - the artist got it right...Almost!

Dear Lou,

Especially if it is just you every week, "thank you so much!" I think that this marks our fifth run through the comic series.

Sincerely,
Rush

Hey Lou,

Like you, I enjoy reading the Charlie Chan comics. And like you, and others, I can't help compare the comic strips to the books and the films.

Please be aware that during the Chan comics short run (1938-1942) that the "Blondie" strip was in the comic sections of national newspapers, but "Peanuts" comic strip was not.

"Blondie," created by Chic Young, premiered in print on September 8, 1930 and is still going strong today. "Peanuts," created by Charles Schulz, debut was on October 2, 1950.

The Chan comics are great fun to read. Thanks Rush for making them available to us by way of your website.

Ha! Steve, I just read your correction to my inclusion of "Peanuts" along with those other comics, when Charlie Chan was sleuthing around the newspaper comic strips! I stand corrected. Scratch one "Peanuts" and replace with...hmmmmm? How about "Little Orphan Annie? :grinning:
