It's conceivable that, somewhere, a tab "Squirrel Cage" might have run. It seems criminal that Ahern drew these two strips in half-page form, week in, week out, and that most papers ran the chopped and changed third-page version. Meanwhile, the likes of "Blondie" was run as a 2/3 page feature... sometimes there ain't no justice on the funny pages!Frank M.

I wonder which guy is Jopito and which is Calvete? The other foreign version here has the title "Chifladuras," which means "madness" in Spanish -- fitting,no? I agree that it's a cropped Sunday -- makes a lot more sense than a daily! Best of all, we got a couple of "new" Squirrel Cages in this post -- the Little Hitch-hiker in a blimp -- love it! It's funny to see that he occasionally DOES get a lift (in this case, literally!)Paul C.Tumeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398929835829679477noreply@blogger.com
