Terry and the Pirates

[dhermann1]

I wqs just thinking about the great old comic strip, Terry and the Pirates. It ran from 1934 through the 60's. Here are a couple of links to a few of the panels, etc. Great stuff.
The Wikipedia article, including the very first strip:

A famous strip from WW II, where Col. Flip Corkin tells the newly commissioned Terry a few things about military and aviation tradition. This strip was read into the Congressional Record:

Milton Caniff left the strip after 1946 to start Steve Canyon, a pretty cool strip in its own right.

Both of those strips were great. They have some of the compilations of Steve Canyon in the gift shop at the Air Force Museum. I haven't bought my copies yet.

Hi

I watched the 1930's movie serials on DVD last month. I left them with my Dad to watch. It was really weird to watch all of the Europeans just expecting anybody else to do their work. Terry was a trip, "gee willikers".
