The Passing Scene – May to August 1965

This drawing from August 1965
is just as timely now, 60 years later.
The year 1965 was the first year that Gene Patrick's The Passing Scene comic strip appeared in the Journal. During that year he was still finding his way, experimenting with the graphic format. 

I posted the strips from April 1965 back here. So, continuing my quest to post the entire run, here are the panels that ran from May 1965 through August 1965. They're a nice, lighthearted mirror of what was going on in the Lorain area at that time.

I really like his comic with the 17-year locusts.
