This past Sunday’s Family Circus is a nice throwback to the days of classic comic strips, because it’s packed with lots of little fun background details. Click to picture to see a large scan.

Arlo and Janis @ 25
Today was the 25th anniversary of Arlo and Janis!
Oops! Wrong Arlo and Janis. Here’s an Arlo and Janis original I got from Jimmy Johnson fifteen years ago, when Eric was only three. And now he’s shaving!
Congratulations, and thanks, to Jimmy for creating my favorite comic strip.
A splash of color
When the Boston Globe started printing its daily comics in color, there were complaints from some readers, claiming to be comic-strip purists, but my only complaint is when the color is printed off-register.
Here is Arlo and Janis from a few days ago, as it appeared in the Metrowest Daily News. Do the mouse-over thing to see how it appeared in the Boston Globe. The color adds a lot to the mood, don’t you think?
How much longer will there be printed newspapers? Ten years? Five?
