About this Collection
This 1973 collection from Houghton Mifflin gathers a wide-ranging selection of classic newspaper comic strips, featuring beloved characters such as Krazy Kat, Popeye, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Alley Oop, among many others. It offers a snapshot of the golden age of American comics, showcasing the work of pioneering cartoonists who defined the medium.
In "Lots and Lots of Fun," Elmer grapples with the sudden loss of his dog, a beloved companion whose death shocks him deeply. The story unfolds with quiet emotional weight as Elmer discovers the truth: the poison was meant for rats, placed by his father in the barn, and the dog’s passing was an unintended tragedy. Written and illustrated by A. C. Fera, this 1973 comic captures a poignant moment of grief and family reckoning.
