Sir Bagby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Bagby is a daily strip created by brothers Rick Hackney and Bill Hackney, who signed the strip R&B Hackney. It ran in American newspapers from 1959 to 1965. The setting was a medieval world filled with anachronisms and puns. In that, it resembles Jack Kent's King Aroo. The main characters are Sir Bagby, a knight, King Filbert I, II ("King Filbert I was my father. He built the business up so I decided to keep the name."), a wizard named Snerk, a jester named Solly, a playwright named Faro, and his assistant Billingsgate.
The only reprints of the strip have been three short stories in Comics Revue.
