These samples of a forgotten Doug Wright comic strip come from the Saskatchewan Leader post in Regina 1972. The distributor was the Argyle Syndicate. Wright shared the top of the page with Dennis the Menace. Other comic strips in the comic section were Blondie, Tiger, B.C., Peanuts, Sesame Street, Pogo, Li'l Abner, The Wizard of Id, Hi and Lois and Rip Kirby. Good years for the comic strip.
