I am a big fan of newspaper comics but I have found them hard to preserve.

Sunday pages are huge and often folded but they look great on poster board.

They can crumble at the edges if you don't take care of them.

Dailies are often cut out of the paper and pasted into a scrapbook.

The scrapbook pages are often cheaper paper than newspaper.

Foster art are my favorite Sunday pages. Raymond is often spectacular.

I have a weakness for Superman pages and the Spirit tabloid size comics are great fun to see.

But they are hard to scan and I usually copy in two scans and connect in photoshop.

It is a lot of extra work but I like the result...sometimes.

The top,and a quik peek!

 

That looks like a Gump family strip at the top of the page. I liked some of the adventures which were a bit extreme for a family vacation. 3408876249_d7e2657853_b.jpg

From the comic. And from an important Sunday page before Christmas, 1929.

Can you post the Bluey and Curley strip? I just noticed it there and was very surprised. This very Australian strip was still running in Melbourne paper in the 1960s - 70s but I had no idea that it got reprinted overseas. I'm guessing it caused a few cultural disconnects for its readers!

 

You can read some background (with a translation guide from vintage Australian to English) here. Look at the cartoons at the bottom of the page for examples of the language used.

Great find! I bet I read those comics that day (September 29, 1945) in the

New York Daily News or Newark Star Ledger.

Thanks for sharing!

I've got this torn up paper from July 8, 1946 Plus pics of the comic strip pages. This paper is pretty rough but still sort of cool. To name a few in the strips - Nancy by Bushmiller, Mutt and Jeff by Fisher, Jon Jason by Elmer Wexler, Buck Rogers by Calkins, Phantom by Falk...
