Early 1940 might have been the Golden Age of Day-By-Day comics. Not only was this ripe storyline unfolding, but we also had Nick Gatt in all his glory, Pat Ryan, Captain Blaze, and April Kane in the clutches of Singh-Singh and Cheery, Josephine B ungle scheming to destroy J. Hartford Oakdale, Dan Dunn vs. that guy that looked like John Barrymore, and Harold Teen considering suicid e because Lillums was going to marry a creepy middle-aged man. We shall not see its like again.

Lizzie, thank you very much.

Club Buccaneer: I'm embarrassed I forgot that name as it was so perfect to the storyline.

I believe this is the picture (created by cropping), I used whenever we needed to reference the First Lady's past.

Wow, you almost raised a tear in my eye for the good times as those were much better storylines than the ones we have now. That said, what a grind writing a daily strip must be – new idea, after new idea, after new idea, with yesterday's brilliant new idea, as the cliché goes, now wrapping fish.

And poor Joe, sitting in the kitchen chair with his feet in the oven, listening to Sally complain about the Dodgers, and having no idea what fate held in store for them both....
