- Sappo was created by EC Segar in response to King Features' dissatisfaction over his tendencies to leave work early. The daily strip initially revolving around diminutive everyman John Sappo's everyday misadventures, chiefly the struggle to catch the 5:15 train. By November 1921, Segar introduced Sappo's significantly larger, more domineering wife Myrtle, thus increasingly centering the strip on domestic humor. Sappo characters sometimes have supporting roles in Popeye stories.

-Alley Oop is a syndicated comic strip created December 5, 1932, by American cartoonist V. T. Hamlin, who wrote and drew the strip through four decades for Newspaper Enterprise Association. Hamlin introduced a cast of colorful characters and his storylines entertained with a combination of adventure, fantasy, and humor. Alley Oop, the strip's title character, is a sturdy citizen in the prehistoric kingdom of Moo. He rides his pet dinosaur Dinny, carries a stone axe, and wears only a fur loincloth. Alley Oop's name was derived from the French phrase allez, hop! ("here we go").

- Jungle Jim is the fictional hero of a series of jungle adventures in various media. The series began on January 7, 1934, as an American newspaper comic strip chronicling the adventures of Asia-based hunter Jim Bradley, who was nicknamed Jungle Jim. Illustrator Alex Raymond and pulp magazine author Don Moore created the original strip as a topper to run above Raymond's Flash Gordon. Jungle Jim and Flash Gordon were launched simultaneously on January 7, 1934. The character was named after Alex's brother Jim Raymond. During World War II, artist Raymond enlisted as a Marine. One of his successors was Paul Norris (creator of DC Comics' Aquaman).
