It's December again, which means I'm reviving my blog to bring you more comic strips about wintertime and Christmastime. I also have some blog ideas that don't have Christmas or winter themes that I plan to do starting next month.

For now, though, we have a reminder to bundle up from Elsworth, or at least from his mother. He was created by Bernard Segal, who went by the pen name Seeg. His first comic strips appeared in the army newspaper 10-SHUN during World War II, but he would later have a syndicated feature named Honey and Hank. The strip featured the title characters as well as their son Elsworth, and as often happens, the kid became the most popular character and the strip was renamed. It didn't run for too much longer after this particular strip was published, ending in 1958. Segal would not have another comic strip after that, but instead shifted his focus to fine art, becoming a fairly successful abstract expressionist painter.
