This thread collects the second half of the strips from July-Dec 1950. 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. After James Baskett died Walt had scrapped his plans of doing a series of Uncle Remus films. Out of respect, Walt retired the character from the strip except the for introduction. The strips also became self contained morals rather than a serial across several weeks. The continuation of this weekly comic strip proved how beloved these characters had become. The strip would run nearly XX years but we're not supposed to know it ever existed.
