Now some Steve Canyon
Yo! As explained yesterday, 'Rip Haywire' is an homage to the adventure strips of the 1940s and 50s. So today I thought I'd bring you 'Steve Canyon' by Milton Caniff.I don't have a date on this one but it looks to be the late 40s. The chick in the strip is Copper Calhoon, a villain/love interest. As in all adventure strips, this one is plucked right out of an ongoing storyline. The previous day's strip showed Steve fist-fighting with Copper's thugs. Now in this one, he's got a stream of blood running down his face. But he remains collected and sharp-tongued.
Would you trust a woman with eyebrows like that?

That strip is from 1947, Steve Canyon started in January 1947, this is his 60th anniversary. I wouldn't trust Copper Calhoun's eyebrows either.

Mr. Thompson, thank you for the dates! I know you are a big fan of Steve Canyon. We're happy you stopped by Zingerding.
