ᎤᏍᏗᏥᏄ

A long-running King Features comic strip launched in 1975, ᎤᏍᏗᏥᏄ (often translated as "Little Bear" in Cherokee) is a gentle, family-centered series drawn for many years by artist Paul Fung Jr. The strip's quiet humor and everyday adventures of its young Cherokee protagonist have made it a beloved fixture in Native American and regional newspapers. Its enduring presence—spanning decades with a single, continuous issue—marks it as a unique and culturally significant voice in mainstream comics.
