Death of Newspapers #18: More 1927 Barney Google strips
.
As newspapers vanish week after week, we can look back at the Golden Age of Print Newspapers. Giant presses rolled. Color comics were being perfected. Trucks rumbled through the night. Bundles of newspapers landed at dawn on street corners. While Barney Google features familiar stereotypes of the period, it also brings back the magic and romance of that era when newspapers had both morning and afternoon editions. Barry Schiffman analyzes the situation.
