There was this one comic strip back in the 80s about a character named Mark. The joke was he didn't wear his glasses so the women were prettier. Is there anyway to see old Sunday comic strips in the 80s? I've tried Comics Kingdom but they have nothing in their archive in the 80s.

As an old school Garfield fan and daily comic reader, seeing these ageless characters like Blondie or Denis the Menace using these new age devices is super off putting. The artists tend to keep their characters in period appropriate clothing and settings, it’s like watching a movie from the 50’s and they break out a cellphone. It feels weird, or am I just weird?

Alright, this is a strange one. When I was in preschool or kindergarten, I made a Christmas ornament. Whatever the assignment guidelines were, I clearly didn’t understand them. I cut out a single frame of this comic strip and proudly gifted it to my parents. My mom, who keeps literally everything, insisted on keeping the ornament on the tree for years as I grew up. Every year we’d laugh at how ridiculous this ornament is. When I moved out and started a family of my own, she gave it to me. It goes on my tree every year to this day. It always earns a laugh from family and friends. Please help me understand the actual joke that was told in this old comic by helping me find the whole strip! https://i.imgur.com/lSTNuwx.jpg

Mark Trail is a comic strip which started in 1946, originally written and drawn by Ed Dodd. The strip focused on environmentalism, with Mark fighting against poachers and pollution from his home in the fictional Lost Forest National Park. Throughout the 1950's, the strip's popularity grew, and Dodd started to bring a number of assistants on board, including his friend Jack Elrod. By the 1960's, the strip had grown from 45 newspapers to around 500.

In 1978, Dodd retired, and Elrod (who had been assisting on the strip for 28 years by this point) took over as the primary artist. At this point, the strip's quality started to drop, often repeating storylines and constantly zooming out in the middle of conversations to show random animals nearby. It remained popular enough to get parodied in the Far Side, but the Mark Trail fandom was gradually shrinking.

The Trailheads Appear

With the advent of the Internet, though, the strip got a new lease on life with "Trailheads", ironic fans of Mark Trail, who appreciated the bizarre, stilted dialogue and uncanny valley faces. This originated with the Comics Curmudgeon, a comics blog (which is still active, in spite of the death of blogs in general) which made fun of newspaper comics, starting in 2004. There was fanart, shirts featuring Mark's famous punching abilities and even...whatever the hell is going on here. Mark Trail still retained its unironic fans, but its ironic internet fandom was starting to grow.

In 2014, just before his 90th birthday, Elrod retired from the strip, passing it on to his longtime assistant James Allen, who continued in much the same vein as before. His tenure on the strip wasn't quite as so-bad-it's-good as Elrod's later work, and the Trailheads shrunk, but they were still definitely there. Up until this point, each artist on Mark Trail had spent years or even decades training an apprentice, passing it off to them only when they were no longer capable of helming the strip, and it was expected tha

Seriously if you look at it just as a guy getting revenge on the mob boss who killed his family it’s a pretty good movie it’s just when you add in the fact that it’s supposed to be based off the comic book character the Punisher that makes it a piece of shit
