Wee Pals: God Is Groovy!

The 1972 one-shot Wee Pals: God Is Groovy! from New American Library is a faith-themed special from the pioneering "Wee Pals" newspaper strip, the first syndicated comic strip to feature a racially integrated cast of children. Written and drawn by creator Morrie Turner, this issue explores spiritual themes through the gentle, wholesome humor of the beloved "Rainbow Gang." While a brief entry in the series' history, it stands as a notable example of how Turner's inclusive, kid-centered storytelling could address religion with the same warmth and simplicity he brought to matters of friendship and equality.
