Any body else grow up with "Funny Papers"

As a kid on the farm Mom and Dad used to get the weekend edition of the Winnipeg Free Press. It had a rural distribution to farmers and ranchers across western Canada. Every week we would get the latest version and the first thing we looked for was the colored comic section that we all referred to as "The Funny Papers". I liked Beetle Bailly while Dad liked Bugs Bunny. My sister preferred Mandrake.

Yes, and sometimes that was the best reading that was offered in our local paper.

Because stories about who attended Aunt Martha's Daily Brunch was worth the space.
Plus, the sports section talking about the local High School Football team having a 'winning' season didn't cut it either when the record was 1 win and 11 losses.
