katzenjammer kids Katzenjammer Kids: Not the way I remember it

I was looking at the Katzenjammer strips on the King Features site. It's not as good as I remember from the 60s and from issues of Tip Top Comics (which also featured Nancy and Sluggo and Peanuts). I think the art looks rather like someone trying to do Little Iodine. But the main reason is that the dialog is stilted and the Pennsylvania Dutch voices unconvincing. This is how it should be done (Tip Top Comics No 225, May-July 1961 Copyright 1961 United Feature Syndicate): MAMA: I iss going shopping. Und remember...if der chob ain't finished ven I get back, I paint der noggins black und blue mit der roller pin! Another thing: Hans Katzenjammer now speaks perfect English!

It's not as good as I remember from the 60s That would have been drawn by Joe Musial and written by ?. Credited creators for the Katzies have been: Rudolph Dirks 1897 - 1912 Harold Knerr 1914 -1949 Doc Winner 1949 - 1956 Joe Musial !956 - 1976 Mike Senich 1976 -1981 Angelo DeCesare 1981 - 1986 Hy Eisman 1986 - present I think that it is totally appropriate that if only one Sunday strip is goning to appear on the KFS website that it be the oldest comic strip.

I take it you just read the March 21 strip. If you go into the four week archive you will see both Hans and Fritz speaking with an accent. I am not real familiar with the characters but I believe that blond boy in the March 21 strip is not Hans. (For some reason the name Rollo pops into mind, but I certainly wouldn't swear to it.)

I stand corrected. The March 7 strip shows a blond boy (Hans) with an accent, with slightly different hair than Rollo. Rollo resembles a rich kid character Rollo Haveall in the Nancy and Sluggo comic books. I think he was one of John Stanley's creations and is similar to Wilbur Van Snobbe of Little L Hi, ROLLO is a creation of Ernie Bushmiller. He appears frequently in our strip.
