A panel from a Dallas comic strip. I never knew there was a Dallas comic strip. Bobby looks very stretched...and like Bill Bixby.

I'm up to "The Brothers Ewing" from Season 7. I know it won't last long, but there is something striking in there being absolutely no woman around with a shoulder (or more) for J.R.

I initially thought of Sly, but she was on her sabatical from Ewing Oil. I don't suppose Kendall had any interest in a hookup?

Oh my god, Sue Ellen's checkered traveling suit when she and Pam went to Hong Kong ...

The more years the pass the more it seems Priscilla Presley is still in a bigger soap than Jenna ever was.

I did a little work on finding these last winter, but didn't get very far as it was hard to track down any paper that seemed to have the complete run (February 1, 1981 - November 25, 1984). The strip was carried by many papers in its first year, but it pretty quickly faded in circulation numbers. One of the first stories was about Bobby and Pam adopting a child that J.R. claimed was Pam's illegitimate son. Early on, there seemed to be more of a rotating of characters in the central story, but by the end, it was mostly a story about J.R. and Sue Ellen's toxic marriage. The final storyline, if I remember correctly, involved Sue Ellen being kidnapped.

The official last print is said to be Sunday, November 25, 1984, but I've never seen that the final strip. All the papers I have found ended on November 24. The November 24th strip was slightly resolved (Sue Ellen was recovered) but there was a lingering questions about J.R.'s retribution.

Thanks for the extra details. I can always count on you to find more information. I never knew anything about this comic. I'm not surprised the interest faded fast - I suppose it's a feat they managed to last almost four years.
