Returning Favorite! Out Our Way!
Since the relaunch, we’ve been hearing from readers suggesting strips they’d like to see featured here. One title seems to come up more than others, perhaps due to the fact that we used to have some samples back in the day: J.R. Williams’s Out Our Way. So popular is this one that at least one person has requested a complete treatment of the strip’s run in the vein of the Fantagraphics Complete Peanuts series. While that may be just a little beyond our capabilities, hopefully the new archive will be of some assistance in quenching one’s thirst for the humble beginnings of Out Our Way. To my knowledge we have the very first OOW panel up for perusal, with a mostly complete run of the first few weeks of its life. It is easy to see even in these early, formative days why this strip was so loved in its day, and continues to be loved today by those in the know. I am very glad to welcome this one back to our roster! Enjoy!

Harold - July 18th, 2008 at 8:00 pmIt’s strange after sixty-five and more years to re-read these long-ago favourites. I used to read these in the Toronto Daily Star and Evening Telegram, in the late
thirties and through the ‘forties.
Brings up many old memories, none of them bad.
Thanks!

Holmes! - June 16th, 2009 at 9:12 amI know this is an old post, but maybe you will get some kind of notification. I have a .pdf with about 60 or so panels of Out Our Way. Someone in my family was a fan, and clipped it. I found some photocopies of the scrapbook and scanned it. I can send it along if you are interested.
Ian Johnson - September 24th, 2009 at 3:35 pmI have searched for my favorite Out Our Way strip, and can’t find it. It has the words “Does the rooster envy the eagle as he soars thru limitless space, or does the eagle envy the rooster who’s a king in his own little place” I saw ir years ago and would be grateful if I could see it agein. Thanks for any help.
