Hagar the Horrible, 4/27/26

Big news, everyone! A new named character has been added to Hagar the Horrible, and he's a servant/butler type named "Charles" with weird swoopy hair and a suit jacket but also a short unhemmed tunic/skirt situation going on. Probably we won't ever see him again, but, I dunno, they gave him a name! Maybe we will! Who knows!

The Phantom, 4/27/26

Big news, everyone: There's a new Phantom story starting that's launching with a bang -- a grey alien wearing a suit is flying in a private jet from Washington, D.C. to Guantanamo Bay -- and while probably it won't ever really live up to that opening image, you have to admit it's the most incredible opening image any of the soap opera strips have given us in quite a while.

Mother Goose and Grimm, 4/27/26

Big news, everyone, and it's not good: Grimm, the beloved title character from the syndicated newspaper comic strip Mother Goose and Grimm, hungers for human flesh.
