The Sunday Funnies is a publication reprinting vintage Sunday comic strips at a large size (16"x22") in color. The format is similar to that traditionally used by newspapers to publish color comics, yet instead of newsprint, it is printed on a quality, non-glossy, 60-pound offset stock for clarity and longevity. Featured are classic American comic strips from the late 19th century to the 1930s.[1][2] The publication's title is taken from the generic label ("Sunday funnies") often used for the color comics sections of Sunday newspapers.

The Sunday comics or Sunday strip is the comic strip section carried in most western newspapers, almost always in color. Many newspaper readers called this section the Sunday funnies, the funny papers or simply the funnies.[1]

For most of the 20th century, the Sunday funnies were a family tradition, enjoyed each weekend by adults and kids alike. They were read by millions and produced famous fictional characters in such strips as Flash Gordon, Little Orphan Annie, Prince Valiant, Dick Tracy and Terry and the Pirates. Leading the lists of classic humor strips are Bringing Up Father, Gasoline Alley, Li'l Abner, Pogo, Peanuts and Smokey Stover. Some newspapers added their own local features, such as Our Own Oddities in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. There were educational strips, such as King Features' Heroes of American History. In addition to the comic strips, Sunday comics sections also carried advertisements in a comics format, single-panel features, puzzles, paper dolls and cut-and-paste activities. The World Museum gave readers instructions for cutting pictures apart and assembling them into a diorama, often with a subject from nature, such as The Grand Canyon or Buffalo Hunt. A page on covered wagons carried the headline, "Covered wagons shown in an easy-to-build model: Scissors, paste and wrapping paper are all you need to make this Western set."

Omitting puzzles and games, I counted 24 syndicated comic strips in the Sunday comics section. None originate here in Buffalo. Then I looked up their ages. From Blondie, founded in 1930, to the youngest, Pros & Cons, founded in 2008, the average age of a Sunday strip is 44 years old. If you aspire to be a Sunday funnies cartoonist, like I did as a child, you should have gotten started around 1978.

Science and learning in the Sunday funnies may sound a bit paradoxical, but if the creators of www.Howtoons.net have their way, you may just find illustrated experiments housed in between Doonesbury and Dilbert.

Once a daily strip is established, a slot in the more-selective Sunday funnies may follow. Each newspaper decides on its own lineup of Sunday comics. At the Los Angeles Times, comics editor Nancy Tew may recommend adding a new strip, which means dropping an old one. She may ask a panel of colleagues to vote.

Surprisingly, daily comics are drawn mostly for grown-ups, Ms. Tew says. Hannah agrees: "Children still read comics," he says, "but not as much as they used to." Kids are more into animated cartoons, he notes. But everyone reads the Sunday funnies. 2ff7e9595c
