    Ginger Meggs has joined an elite club –
    one that only a handful of comic strips have attained* –

    It claims to be in 120 newspapers in 30 countries.
    Don't know if any U.S. newspapers run it now,
    they did in the 1930s and 1940s. https://twitter.com/10NewsFirst/status/1459410248301694983
