Ep. 30: Comic Strips to Comic Books

Send us a text

Do comic strips get a little more respect than comic books? Or is that perception changing? Are comic strips and comic books evolving? We’re taking a look at some of the biggest comic strips of all-time (Peanuts, Garfield, Pogo, Calvin and Hobbes, Flash Gordon, etc.), debate why some properties have more of a lasting impact than others, and check out some of the comic strips that eventually became comic books (and vice versa). And when it comes to comic strips as comic books, does action/adventure translate better than humor? Join Jeff, Rich, Tony, and Mr. Moose(?!?) for this discussion straight from the funny pages.
