I recently came across a collection of Hank Ketcham’s early seventies newspaper strip Half-Hitch.

Well, I say Hank Ketcham, it was ghosted by Bob Saylor and Dick Hodgins, based on a strip that Ketcham did draw for the Saturday Evening Post in the forties, and an attempt to cash-in on the Vietnam era popularity of Beetle Bailey.

It is…a near Platonic example of the American newspaper comic strip.
