Comedic Daily Comic Strip

Description

A comic strip depicting John Sappo-a commuter dealing with daily absurdities. He was E.C Seger's precursor to Popeye and a sensation for over 20 years of Seger's career. While the strip started with commute woes; the addition of an opinionated and demanding larger wife and other side characters reclassed as a domestic comedy.
