The Sunday Funnies #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe third volume in the Dr. Doug's series from The Sunday Funnies line, this collection reprints a sequence of newspaper comic strips centered on the challenges of childhood bullying. Originally published by Russ Cochran, it presents Dr. Doug's gentle, humorous approach to a serious topic through the Sunday comic strip format.
"Death to the Offenders!" is a wild, vintage-style adventure from 2011, written and illustrated by V. T. Hamlin in a style that pays loving homage to classic newspaper strips. In this action-packed tale, King Guz orders Alley Oop to bring him a dinosaur, and when Oop obeys, the beast accidentally kills the king—leading to a punishing rock-pile labor sentence. The cover, a vibrant collage of work by legendary artists Everett Lowry, Frank King, Quin Hall, Dean Cornwell, Lester J. Ambrose, and Charles Lederer, captures the strip’s playful, pulp energy.
In a delightfully absurd twist, King Guz demands Alley Oop fetch a dinosaur—only to have it turn on him and tree him instead. With the king now stuck in the branches, Oop finds himself unexpectedly promoted to rock-pile foreman, much to the amusement of Foozy, Dinny, and the rest of the court.
Alley Oop and Foozy bet big on a boxing match, hoping to cash in—until they’re forced to flee their own chaos and stumble into the surreal realm of Queen Eodora, where even the rules of the game are up for grabs. With Zabo, Kar, Dinny, and Loo caught in the crossfire, the line between sport and spectacle blurs in this wild, whimsical detour.
