E&P Mystery Strips -- Letter Q
The following features were all listed in the Editor & Publisher
annual Syndicate Directory listings. Problem is that I have not been
able to find these features running in any American newspaper. I'm looking for
positive proof that (1) these features did indeed exist, (2) they are
actually comics of some sort and weren't just mislabeled in E&P, and
(3) they ran in U.S. newspapers. If you have any information about a
mystery strip on this list please, please, please tell me all about it.
And if you can provide positive proof that the mystery feature did
indeed run in U.S. newspapers (a tearsheet -- that is, an actual clipping from a newspaper or a copy thereof -- is proper proof) and qualifies
for listing in the Stripper's Guide index, you will be the recipient of a
goodie box chock full of all
manner of comic strip ephemera -- reprint books, old
tearsheets, magazines, even original art find their way into my goodie boxes. Trust me that
my goodie boxes do not disappoint! (SORRY - as of 2018 goodie boxes
are sadly no longer available - I now live in Canada and our postal
rates are so outrageous that I cannot afford to send out goodie boxes -
SORRY!)

Here are the mystery features starting with letter "Q". Each listing has the title, years advertised, creator(s), syndicate and format. Sorry, I'd put these in a more attractive tabular form, but Blogger plays havoc with tables:
