Freckles and His Friends
''Freckles and his Friends'' was a popular American comic strip set in the peaceful small town of Shadyside where young Freckles McGoosey and his friends live. Although the long-run strip, created by Merrill Blosser, is remembered for its continuing storyline involving a group of teenagers, it originally featured a child at the age of six or seven in gag-a-day situations.〔〔(Markstein, Don. Toonopedia: ''Freckles and His Friends'' )〕
Illustrated by Blosser and later by Henry Formhals (1908-1981), ''Freckles and His Friends'' was ghostwritten by Fred Fox (1903-1981). A gagwriter for Groucho Marx and Judy Canova, Fox scripted for radio, television and films.〔UPI. (September 2, 1971). (Fred Fox, comic strip author And writer for Groucho Marx ) ''The New York Times''. Retrieved 24 July 2008.〕 Widely syndicated by Newspaper Enterprise Association, ''Freckles and His Friends'' had a long run through much of the 20th Century. Today some of the strips can be read at Steve Cottle's I Love Comix Archive.〔(I Love Comix Archive: ''Freckles and His Friends' )〕
==History==
Although many sources give the start date as September 20, 1915, comic strip historian Allan Holtz points out that it actually began on August 16, 1915.〔(Holtz, Allan Stripper's Guide, September 26, 2006. )〕 In May 1915, the 23-year-old Merrill Blosser landed a job in Chicago with NEA, initially drawing cartoons based on news events. That summer he began drawing five comics features. One of these, titled ''Freckles'', began as a one-column daily gag panel on August 16, expanding into a full comic strip on September 20 when it was retitled ''Freckles and His Friends''. One by one, Blosser dropped each of the other panels, but in July 1916, he began another strip, ''Miniature Movies'', which soon became ''Chestnut Charlie'', continuing until early in 1918. At that point, Blosser then dedicated himself exclusively to the production of ''Freckles and His Friends''.〔(''The Albertan'', October 3, 1945 )〕
The daily strip gained readers through the 1920s and into the 1930s when a Sunday strip was added on December 31, 1933. By 1939, according to ''Editor & Publisher'', the Sunday strip was published in 130 newspapers, while the daily strip appeared in more than 500 papers.〔(Editor & Publisher, 1939. )〕 During the World War II years, Blosser's creation was seen by some 60,000,000 readers.〔
