Fantasy has been explored in comic strips long before Forbidden Worlds. Some staples of the genre in the media then and today originated in narrative art in newspapers or magazines. While classics like The Far Side have had their share of fantasy in certain editions, and countless beloved comic strips — notably Pogo and Calvin and Hobbes — show anthropomorphic animals in otherwise realistic settings, there are other amazing strips set entirely in imagined universes or focused on fantastic characters.Comics still run in printed publications across the globe, and historical feats can be found in online catalogs of syndicated newspaper strips. The best fantasy comic strips include the still-running Liō by Mark Tatulli and the long-gone Barnaby by Crockett Johnson. Both are examples of wild ideas and scenarios depicted in a simple yet effective form, which contrasts with the intricate artwork of strips like Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur.The Smurfs live in a village of mushroom houses in an alternate universe of kings, queens, princesses, wizards and magical creatures. They are three-apples tall and speak a dialect that involves the use of the word “smurf” a lot, which is a literal translation of the Flemish equivalent of “whatchamacallit.” 100 different smurfs embark on meaningful tales in the comic strips, many of which never made it to the gags in the 1980s Hanna-Barbera animated cartoons and are only known to the comics fans.
