The Lost Adventures of “Calloway the Castaway” Episode 1

For years my older brother thought he had lost the original drawings of his comic strip “Calloway the Castaway.”

My brother was 20 years old in 1979 when he got hired to do a weekly four-panel comic strip for the town newspaper.  He did the strip for about a year just for the fun of it until he moved away for better opportunities .  Between all the moves and boxes over the next decades, he thought he had lost all the strips.

A few weeks ago, he was going through stuff in his garage (he uses his garage for storage instead of parking), and he found the originals.  They’re kind of messed up, with stains and folds, but they’re still readable.  

My brother is in his mid-60s now, and when he reads these, all he sees are flaws.  He’s too hard on himself.  I’ve read a bunch of comic strips from the 1970s and 1980s.  I think these are pretty good.  But I’m biased.

Every Sunday, I plan on running a weekly comic strip of his until I run out of episodes (or until he loses these again).  I hope everybody likes them as much as I do/did.
