Page "Comic strip" Paragraph 21

The popularity and accessibility of strips meant they were often clipped and saved ; authors including John Updike and Ray Bradbury have written about their childhood collections of clipped strips.

Often posted on bulletin boards, clipped strips had an ancillary form of distribution when they were faxed, photocopied or mailed.

The Baltimore Suns Linda White recalled, " I followed the adventures of Winnie Winkle, Moon Mullins and Dondi, and waited each fall to see how Lucy would manage to trick Charlie Brown into trying to kick that football.

( After I left for college, my father would clip out that strip each year and send it to me just to make sure I didn ’ t miss it.
