Who can forget characters like: Krazy Kat! Popeye! Flash Gordon! Beetle Bailey! Blondie! Prince Valiant! Hagar the Horrible! Barney Google and Snuffy Smith! Baby Blues! Mutt & Jeff! Zits! Juliet Jones! Buz Sawyer! Steve Canyon! Bizarro! Hi & Lois! Maggie & Jiggs! Johnny Hazard! It has already been 100 years since King Features Syndicate unleashed all these characters onto the world. Look out this October for King Features Syndicate: One Hundred Years of King Features Syndicate from IDW. The people that contributed to King Features are pop culture institutions. These characters still have life even with dwindling newspaper readership. They were truly kings.
