  • "Flashbacks" comic strip ending

    From D.D.Degg@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 28 14:43:16 2022
    After 31 years Flashbacks cartoonist-educator-historian Patrick M. Reynolds will end the enlightening Sunday comic strip at the end of September 2022. https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2022/08/28/flashbacks-by-patrick-m-reynolds-to-end-soon/

    Does it appear anywhere other than The Washington Post?

    Dennis, he did different versions for different markets - scroll down to the end of his page that you linked to, and you'll see NYC, PA and Texas versions.

    Yeah, Allan Holtz lists Big Apple Almanac, Texas Lore, and Pennsylvania Profiles along with Flashbacks. Pennsylvania Profiles seems to be the starting point in 1976.

    I remember "Big Apple Almanac" by Reynolds in the Sunday (New York/Long Island) Newsday comics section.

    Now that Flashbacks by Patrick M. Reynolds ended, what Sunday strip now takes the place of Flashbacks in the Washington Post Sunday comics?
