Today’s comic is from an old strip called Cuties, by E. Simms Campbell. Campbell was the first African-American cartoonist to really break out, and regularly appeared in Esquire Magazine, among others. He also did the Cuties comic strip.
This cartoon was published on January 16, 1960.

Of course, to all of us, that answer should always be, “Yes!”

OK, it’s very, very late Saturday. So late that everybody insists on calling it “Sunday”. But better late than never.
Today’s comic comes from Rose is Rose. It was published on May 29, 1996. It was sent to me by a reader of this blog.

Today’s comic comes from November 20, 1966. It is from Muggs and Skeeter, drawn by Wally Bishop.

It’s an interesting point. Somehow it is humans that are supposed to get cold feet in the winter, but barefooters know that we can handle much colder temperatures than most folks expect. (That said, a lot of snow just doesn’t do it for me.)

If you are going to hell, make sure you are a barefooter first. Then the Legos won’t bother you.

Today’s strip is from the comic Henry, started in 1935 by Carl Anderson. By 1942, Anderson’s arthritis kept him from drawing the strip, so after that it was drawn by John Liney.
This comic appeared on September 21, 1971.
Henry, September 21, 1971
The first thing of interest is how easily his mother suggested that Henry go barefoot. It’s a nice day—why not? But that was then.
The second thing of interest is that barefooters even today still have trouble with pet stores. A place like PetSmart even invites you to bring your (barefoot) pets in with you, but occasionally an employee will object to a barefoot human, for some odd reason. But it is not PetSmart’s policy, and pointing out the ridiculousness of the situation to the employee usually works.
