I would think the tramp stamp comics code would be the classy way to go.All that Kitchen Sink stuff seems to have more or less disappeared from used book stores and comic shops in the city.I think Tundra did Cages? Kitchen Sink did fold, yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_Sink_PressA shame, cause they were simply a decade or so ahead of their time.

The Lil' Abner reprints are the most priceless stuff they did; I'm often tempted to blow a shitload of money and buy up a bunch of em.

He could also tell hilarious slapstick nonsense story.
And is obv better (in quality, art & bigotry level) than say Katzenjammer Kids or Bringing Up Father.

From an interview this week with Brian Walker:
GB: As a creator yourself, it must be interesting to track, if you even can, how your scholarship affected your own strips through the years. Is there a thought you have on that subtle dance?BW: In the late 1980s, I wrote a book about Ernie Bushmiller’s “Nancy.” I had always looked down on this strip, convinced that its appeal was limited to children and senior citizens. But after researching Bushmiller’s career I developed an appreciation for the deceptively simple and occasional surreal qualities of his work. Ernie’s advice to other cartoonists was, “Dumb it down.”

the recent collection of john stanley's 'nancy' comics is well worth checking out. stanley essentially treats nancy and sluggo as if they were weirdly drawn versions of lulu and tubby, which makes for a mildly trippy read.

The WW2 setting of these strips means a lot of Nazi refs that feel startling & incongruous in the weird nowhere USA of Nancy

I mean, unless you think "got fired from his sinecure on a legacy strip after sexually assaulting and (separately) beating up his assistant, before firing her over Facebook, and then posting pictures of them together on the 'gram captioned with long incoherent rants about how she's going to be federally indicted based on information he has given to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and how he'd sacrificed so much to make her into a great artist, and thought of her as a daughter" is outweighed by him also including prayer emoji hands and explaining that he does whatever God tells him every morning
extremely cool aspect of the current media landscape that no reporting on this can still be found but the Moody Blues link itt is still active
