The Sunday strip that’s rerunning on Gocomics.com is one of only two times that Mr. Bench appeared in color. As I’ve mentioned before, when I would write gags, I would just write – not doing specifically dailies or Sundays. Then, if a gag was too long to fit in a daily it would become a Sunday. I guess most of the weird gags that became Mr. Bench strip were short enough.
As for the gag itself, I like the twist on “old man wants everyone to be like him.” Plus, “one size fits all” hats have never worked for my big melon.
