I'm 70, and I grew up on those comics, or as we said, The Funnies (Boston)
The Boston Herald-American had the best comics section in the whole country. I used to buy the Sunday edition JUST for the comics. TWO full sections, a broadsheet and a tabloid. Where else would I get to read “Cicero’s Cat”?
We used to say the Funnies down in New York, but maybe we got it from Boston.
I did recognize the style of his in Hi and Lois. Used to read it.
Called em the funnies or funny papers in rural Indiana too.....I think it was a common national binder
