Mr. Skygack, from Mars, by A.D. Condo, is considered the newpapers' first sci-fi comic strip, running from 1907 -1912.
The panels I've seen are genuinely funny, as Mr. Skygack tries (and fails) to decipher human behavior.
"Saw two Earth-beings evidently glued one to the other"

I think all bookish types have speculated about explaining the world to someone from the past...kind of similar. I liked the Star Trek game post, too, it was cheering.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, like Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and the like!
ReplyDeleteI did think Mr. Skygack was sort of Spockish.
Thanks for saying about the game post--I'll put it back up. (Don't know why I took it down, actually...)
