I received another batch of old Eek and Meek comic strip clippings, like in my earlier post, but way more of them. All of them seem to be 1968-1970, or so. As I was getting them sorted, only three 1968 strips seem to be in this lot, so here they are!
If you collect newspaper comic strips, what do you do if they’re missing some of the strip? I have two here, one of which has part of the final panel ripped away. These strips were attached to a different strip that I think the collector was going for; they were ancillary, and they didn’t care. I digitally dropped in the missing bits from online scans, which is why a little slice is a black-and-white scan instead of a full 300dpi color scan.
If I was really working to put together a collection of clippings of a particular strip, this would be unacceptable, but for me, here, I can live with it. For now. And, truthfully, I’m not even sure what I’ll do with these clippings, if I’ll keep them or offer them up at some point for something else.
