To me, records are about the joy of discovery. Gently placing the tiny needle in that delicate groove and waiting to see if it will be a HIT (yaaay!) or a MISS (boo!). But when it comes to records about comic strips, they’re all winners in my book. What’s not to like?

Here’s a rare and nifty number that I would give a 70 if I were on American Bandstand. It has a good beat and you can dance to it. (Thanks and a tip of the Hatlo hat to Mr. Craig Yoe for the generous gift of this classic wax.)
