Can you complete the titles of these classic newspaper comic strips?
Time to get down to funny (pages) business.
It was always the first thing we turned to in the newspaper. If we're being honest, it still is. Forget the stock prices and sports scores. We want to laugh.
That's why the funny pages have lasted so long. Some titles have been telling jokes for decades — nearly a century. Of course, there were comic strips devoted to adventure and romance, too.
Below, you will find some of the longest-running comic strips in newspaper history. See if you can complete their names!
