The Dennis the Menace comic strip by Hank Ketcham debuted on March 12, 1951. It would be adapted into a popular sitcom only eight years later, and eventually cartoons & films. He was also Dairy Queen’s official mascot from 1971 to 2001.
They're of their time, but I enjoy them. I've found quite a few in used bookstores.
I'm gonna miss that old newsprint smell.

F.B. Opper's "Happy Hooligan" first appeared on March 11, 1900. The strip was Opper’s first big hit, spawning a number of adaptations in other media, including film and music. Here’s his first appearance:

Are you sure?
But following it up with the Ankylosaurus, who is also awesome, was a good move.
Okay, they really didn't need to drag out the demise of the Stegosaurus. 😢 (although 50 million years is a pretty good run).
Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

Gotta love the Stegosaurus.
I don't know if the show has ever acknowledged it but it's been definitely been suspected.
If you see this, post a robot.

Everything is terrible so I'm gonna end the night watching one of my favorite Western tv shows. This episode has DeForest Kelley of Star Trek fame sporting a mustache and Lon Cheney Jr.
