''Out Our Way'' was an American single-panel comic strip series by Canadian-American comic strip artist J. R. Williams. Distributed by Newspaper Enterprise Association, the cartoon series was noted for its depiction of American rural life and the various activities and regular routines of families in small towns.〔(University of Wyoming, American Heritage Center: Rural Images Virtual Exhibit )〕 The panel introduced a cast of continuing characters, including the cowboy Curly and ranch bookkeeper Wes. ''Our Our Way'' ran from 1922–1977, at its peak appearing in more than 700 newspapers. == Publication history == ''Out Our Way'' first appeared in a half-dozen small-market newspapers on March 20, 1922.〔(Lambiek Comiclopedia )〕 Williams used ''Out Our Way'' as an umbrella title for several alternating series, including ''The Bull of the Woods'' and ''Why Mothers Get Gray''. The success of the daily panel prompted a Sunday feature, but it was not a grouping of panels, as in the Sunday ''Grin and Bear It''. Instead, the characters of ''Why Mothers Get Gray'' were expanded into a Sunday strip, ''Out Our Way with the Willits'' (aka ''The Willets''). Williams' assistants on the Sunday strip were Neg Cochran and George Scarbo (whose own strip ''The Comic Zoo'' sometimes ran next to ''The Willets'' as a Sunday sidebar feature).〔 In 1957, Williams died at age 70.〔〔 ''Out Our Way'' was continued by Cochran, Paul Gringle, Ed Sullivan and others until 1977.〔〔(Strickler, Dave.
