King Aroo Sunday Comic Strip By Jack Kent - December 30, 1951

Here's a really fun King Aroo color Sunday comic strip by Jack Kent from December 30th 1951. As described in The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics:

"King Aroo is one of the most celebrated strips of the recent past in the comics ... appealing largely to the members of the readership that loved Krazy Kat, Barnaby, Pogo and Little Nemo. The strip began in 1950 ... but was discontinued after a few years. It was kept on in limited syndication until 1965."

I recently made some hi-res scans of some color newspaper samples of the King Aroo strip that I collected a few years ago.

Since there was only ever one book collection of the strip (in 1953) and very little merchandising, Jack Kent's King Aroo has been largely forgotten, except by a rabidly loyal group of fans that swears lifelong allegiance to the King. I have listed some links at the bottom of the post where you can look to find a few more strips, and a lot more information.
