    Allan Holtz has it running Sunday only from November 19, 1978 to March 4, 1979 in The Tampa Tribune.

    The El Paso Times ran it from December 3, 1978 to April 8, 1979 (Sundays)
    and from December 4, 1978 to March 31, 1979 daily.

    Murdoch Features (the syndicate) advertised it as a "country western comic strip"
    with "down home humor." Billy Bob headed a county-western band.

    There is nothing known about the creators Ledbetter and Clyde.
    The names may be pseudonyms. It has a greeting card vibe to it.

    I second this.

    Going back to the NY Post, I wish they could make their historical archive available for viewing somewhere. Not sure about newspapers.com since they already have the archives of the Daily News and Newsday but it would be nice for me to be able to view
    old NY Post comics somewhere.

    When I was a child in the 50's, the Post did not print on Sundays. On Saturday's they printed a weekend edition and this had a color comics section. Some of the strips they carried were, Mary Worth, Abbie and Slats featuring Bathless Groggins, Dottie
    Dripple and Mark Trail, which I think ran on page two. I'm not sure the Post ever published a Sunday edition before Murdoch bought it.
