A recent discovery of mine has led to a much larger one. I was digging around for information on the old
Everett True comic strip and stumbled across
Barnacle Press where they're housing a
huge number of old comic strips. Scanned at pretty decent resolution and cleaned up (a bit) for all the world to see. Obviously, it's all public domain stuff but there's famous works like
Barney Google and
Katzenjammer Kids to more obscure titles like
Diana Dillpickles and
Soosie the Shopper (which apparently only lasted a couple months). Lots of great comics to find and enjoy there, plus they seem to update it fairly regularly.
A few minutes ago, in looking through their archives, I came across this...
Now
that is exactly the type of comic history you
don't find in books about the subject. That's the beauty of the internet and exactly the reason why you should check out
Barnacle Press!
