Back in the day when the New York Post was 7 days a week and carried comics (when did they temporary stop doing a Sunday paper in the 1980's?), this is the October 22, 1978 NY Post Sunday comics lineup according to a October 22, 1978 NY Post Sunday comics section that was recently offered and won on ebay:

Wizard of Id
Andy Capp
Dennis the Menace
Winnie the Pooh
Redeye
Hi and Lois
B.C.
Billy Bob (Ever heard or remember this comic strip?)
Mary Worth
Momma
Crock
Boomer
Ferd'nard
Rivets
Small Society
Boner's Ark
Star Hawks
Miss Peach
Charmers
Alley Oop
Funky Winkerbean
Agatha Crumm
Inside Woody Allen
Ripley's Believe It or Not
The Lockhorns
Tiger
Donald Duck
Uncle Art's Funland

For the record: 1) "Andy Capp", "Hi and Lois", "B.C.", "Momma", and "The Lockhorns" later moved to the New York Daily News comics for their few to several year time, 2) "Wizard of Id", "Dennis the Menace", and "The Lockhorns" nowadays can be seen in the NY Long Island Newsday comics pages.

Is there still a link to this or is it gone?

Allan Holtz has it running Sunday only from November 19, 1978 to March 4, 1979 in The Tampa Tribune.

The El Paso Times ran it from December 3, 1978 to April 8, 1979 (Sundays)
and from December 4, 1978 to March 31, 1979 daily.

Murdoch Features (the syndicate) advertised it as a "country western comic strip"
with "down home humor." Billy Bob headed a county-western band.

There is nothing known about the creators Ledbetter and Clyde.
The names may be pseudonyms. It has a greeting card vibe to it.

I second this.

Going back to the NY Post, I wish they could make their historical archive available for viewing somewhere. Not sure about newspapers.com since they already have the archives of the Daily News and Newsday but it would be nice for me to be able to view old NY Post comics somewhere.

When I was a child in the 50's, the Post did not print on Sundays. On Saturday's they printed a weekend edition and this had a color comics section. Some of the strips they carried were, Mary Worth, Abbie and Slats featuring Bathless Groggins, Dottie Dripple and Mark Trail, which I think ran on page two. I'm not sure the Post ever published a Sunday edition before Murdoch bought it.

Here's a link to the completed auction; I didn't expect any competition and I got sniped :-(
