Schulz, Mort Walker, Hank Ketcham, Johnny Hart, Brad Anderson (no relation to Loni), Dean Young and Jim Raymond, Morrie Turner, Mell Lazarus, Russell Myers, Dik Browne, Cathy Guisewite, and John Cullen Murphy; and segments with comic strip characters Doonesbury, Broom-Hilda, Momma, Drabble, Cathy, Hagar the Horrible, Pogo, Tumbleweeds, Miss Peach, B.C., Beetle Bailey, Blondie, Dick Tracy, Barney Google, Alley Oop, Prince Valiant, Peanuts, Wee Pals, Dennis the Menace, Nancy, Little Orphan Annie, Fred Basset, Marmaduke, Flash Gordon, Popeye - and, in his first animated appearance, Garfield the cat.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:
