Thurasday Story Strip Day.
I do not know a lot about Draftie or Paul Fogerty, except that it was pretty well drawn for it's time, that it ran from 1941 to 1945 and changed it's name to Lem and Oinie in the later years.

Comic And Not So Comic Journalism
Wednesday Educational Day.
Here are some selected pieces from Associated Press in the late thirties and early forties. I guess, these would come as part of the package you got when you subscribed to AP's news service. They had a staff of artists and photographs that provided visuals for their stories or sometime even pure visual bits. From this pool of talent came a lot of the early realitstic artists, such as Al Capp, Milt Caniff, Noel Sickles, Mel Graff, Hank Barrow and George Wunder.

Readymade for Tumblr
Tuesday Comic Strip Day.
Two early Tumbleweeds and two that are slightly later. I'd have to check, but it seems as if the earliest Sundays may nog have had a three tier version but a two tier version that could be used in a half tabloid. It's amazing how soon T. K. Ryan found his style and stuck with it. I did those first two before, but wanted to show them because of the difference in format.
