Maybe people here has leads. I'm working on publishing the complete run of a newspaper strip called "Arnold", which ran from 1982 to 1988. The strip's creator, Kevin McCormick, gave me permission to go ahead with it.
The good news is I have all of the dailies (in varying condition, but otherwise reasonably decent). However, the Sundays are a bit spotty. King Features, the company that syndicated the strip, only had couple year's worth of Sundays in their archive so I have to seek out old newspapers to get the rest.
I managed to get a decent number of clippings and scans from old papers, but there's still a bunch I need. If anyone has any leads, let me know! Some of the larger newspapers that ran the strip include Baltimore Sun, Detroit Free-Press, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Chicago Sun-Times. If anyone has Sunday comics from those papers in the 1980s, I'd love to hear from you.
