Today's Bock oddity is yet another "Our Boarding House" cartoon I found. The single-panel comic was created by George Ahern in 1921 & ran thru 1984, though Ahern was only involved until he retired in 1936. This one is from February 2, 1963 and was published in the Morning Union.

Today's Bock oddity is this Mutt and Jeff comic strip from January 31, 1976. It was created by Bud Fisher, who started it in 1907, and it was the first successful daily comic strip in the United States, and ran until 1983. By 1976, it was being drawn by Al Smith.
