A pre-furry call to action by the Funny Animal Liberation Front. We should all be sure to get an update on our vaccines. From an apa-zine published in 1980. (Note the mutant cat's-paw.) (I am not sure what 'updok' means....)

Thanks for the links! I'm going to have to do more research and linking. I've seen some fragments of the tropes in some of the comic strip histories that I've read. (I was just a casual reader of the histories in the libraries.) Never saw any of the Milt Gross comics until I was in my 20s.
I really like using the old memes and tropes ("1506nixnix") and trying to make up things like that.
I did see (& read) the Holman's "Smoky Stover" in the Sunday papers as a kid, from about 1950 to 1957. I liked that very much. I could tell it was a 'type' of comic. The first housecat that I was aware of as a 'pet' entity/personality got named "Spooky". (Though I knew that doing that was kind of 'wrong' - as the cat didn't look like Holman's comic-strip cat.)

Wow, Smokey Stover is just a footnote to me. But because of the Dallas Times-Herald syndicate deals, I never read Mrs. Peach or Boner's Ark or many others. We did get Broom Hilda which did not exactly blow my skirt up, reruns of Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie. Oh, yeah, we got It Will Happen Every Time, which I think was related somehow to Our Boarding House. Anyway, I knew who Major Hoople was as a young'un.
