For a period of about 50 years, many of America's top cartoonists and illustrators lived within a stone's throw of one another in the southwestern corner of Connecticut.
Comic strips and gag cartoons read by hundreds of millions were created in this tight-knit group -- Prince Valiant, Superman, Beetle Bailey, Hägar the Horrible, Hi and Lois, Nancy, The Wizard of Id, Family Circus... I could keep going.
This hour, a look at the funny pages, and at Connecticut's cartoon county.
GUESTS:
- Bill Griffith - The creator and author of the daily comic strip Zippy
- Henry McNulty - A writer and editor who worked for the Hartford Courant for more than 25 years
