Once in a while the comic strip Hi and Lois slips in a sly political comment

[JohnnyRingo]

A couple years ago Lois was donning a Pussy Hat and going to a rally, but usually it's about family life.

This is the July 4th strip:

1. Excellent!!!

2. Trump on Truth Social: "Hi and Lois are radical leftists!"

Wow, you know you've lost "the silent majority" when Hi and Lois call you a tyrant.

[JohnnyRingo]

3. Notice it's the Ditto, the next generation, who is concerned.

But yeah, it's pretty much the most (white) bread and butter family in the funny papers calling him a Nazi

[Conjuay]

4. Yeah, well Ditto looks to be the age where he'd be drafted

If the KKKlown Master continues his nonsense.

11. Don't leave out that they're a failing strip that nobody reads....

...and they're ugly.

Hi and Lois is an American comic strip about a suburban family. Created by Mort Walker and illustrated by Dik Browne, both of whose children currently work on the strip, it debuted on October 18, 1954, distributed by King Features Syndicate.[1]
Publication history

The Flagstons first appeared in Walker's Beetle Bailey. They spun off into their own strip, written by Walker and drawn by Browne. Lois Flagston (née Bailey) is Beetle Bailey's sister and the two strips make occasional crossovers. One of these occurred on the strip's 40th anniversary in 1994, when Beetle visited his sister Lois and her family. Chip resembles his Uncle Beetle in attitude and appearance, especially the eyes.
The Best of Hi and Lois (1986) was reprinted in 2005.

The strip made efforts to keep up with the times, such as housewife Lois Flagston taking a career in real estate in 1980. In previous decades, the strip was acclaimed; in 1962, it earned Browne a Reuben Award from the National Cartoonists Society.

6. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the Hi and Lois strip posted.

I had read somewhere that Lois and Beetle were brother and sister, but I didn't know the whole history. We haven't had Hi and Lois in the Denver Post for ages, but Beetle Bailey still runs daily and Sunday.

7. I wouldn't characterize it that way

It’s a SHOUT!

I am actually impressed by the authors’ attitude. I wonder if the newspapers (such as still exist) will get backlash?
