The Neighbors (comic strip)

The Neighbors was an American gag-a-day comic strip, created by George Clark which ran from 1939 to 1971.

Clark launched The Neighbors in 1939 with the Chicago Tribune-New York Daily News Syndicate. Similar to his earlier Side Glances, it explored subtle aspects of middle-class family humor. He soon added a Sunday strip, Our Neighbors, the Ripples, a title eventually shortened to The Ripples. The Sunday strip was dropped in 1948, but his daily panel continued until 1971. Stephen Becker (Comic Art in America) commented, "He has never attempted to induce the belly laugh; he feels that a gently humorous reminder of something that has probably happened to his reader will suffice."[1][2]

Awards

Clark received the National Cartoonists Society's Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award in 1961.
