Robert Varady News Today

Letters to the Editor for Sept. 2

Yorktown, N.Y.: The Daily News missed an opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its color Sunday comics supplement, first appearing on Feb. 25, 1923. Given that The News’ original publisher, Joseph Medill Patterson, hand-picked and often named the comics he wanted, and that The News has one of the richest comics histories in the industry, it’s an omission that speaks to the sad state of interest in comic strips today.

Brooklyn: African-Americans have fought in every war this country has engaged in, yet at times this country hasn’t shown in kind that it appreciates their patriotism.
