This thread collects the second half of the strips from July-Dec 1949. Anyone claiming the film was a failure & that these characters are obscure is lying to you. The only other Walt Disney characters with a regular newspaper comic strip like this were Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck. These were just as beloved Walt Disney characters & warmly embraced by many black Americans who saw them as Walt Disney celebrating their cultural heritage. In the days before VHS & streaming this is how most Americans were familiar with these characters thus proving their immense popularity. By this point James Baskett had died so even though Walt scrapped his plans to do a series of Uncle Remus film, he continued this weekly comic strip proving how beloved these characters had become. The strip would run nearly XX years but we're not supposed to know it ever existed.
