[FS] 1950's COMIC STRIP Sunday Supplements

the additional postage.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Below is a listing of Comic Strip pages from 1953-1954 Des Moines (Iowa)
Sunday Register. There are also four below those from the Richmond Times
Dispatch. (Separated so coding worked better.)
These are NOT necessarily complete sections. Would like to sell them all
together, but would consider offers for certain days ONLY. (Meaning: I'll
only sell one days worth of strips together and not by page.)
All are in Good to Good- condition. Shows wear and rips here and there.
Very few have serious tears in the middle of the strips. Pages aren't
brittle, but do show some yellowing/browning/age stains. They've also been
folded in fourths (but flatten nicely) and a few have writing in the white
borders.

Several days ago I had dinner at a chinese restaurant with Dr. Martin JisCHke (President of Iowa State University.). I was amazed that an hour later I was again hungry for power.
