Sam and Silo
Sam and Silo is an American comic strip by Mort Walker and Jerry Dumas that has been published since 1977. It is the successor to Sam's Strip , which was published between 1961 and 1963.
action
The action takes place in the Upper Duckwater provincial nest. There Sheriff Sam and his Deputy Silo take care of the security of the place. Contrary to Sam, who believes that a nap and a nice meal are the best anti-crime measures, the town's mayor, Abe McGuffey, sees crime lurking on every street corner.
In contrast to this, Sam's Strip was about the fact that numerous characters from other comics had guest appearances. Frederick Burr Opper's Happy Hooligan , in particular, made frequent attempts to show up on the strip.

background
Sam's Strip was the first comic strip to focus on comics. Because of his too special humor for the general public, he did not achieve this.
