Update: Breaking Cat News will be in reruns the week of August 1 and also Sunday, August 28 because the real-life Tommy had recently died (that and Georgia Dunn recently recovered from Covid).

Week of July 25-30, 2022: Red and Rover enters week #2 in a current rerun mode. Could it be Brian Basett's surgery concerns? Also: Did the New York Daily News just drop Red and Rover from its daily comics since it has no "on vacation" blurb for it?

Hopefully the New York Daily News may find a replacement for Red and Rover in the daily comics. Some contenders could be the new Crabgrass or maybe Garfield or a Tribune owned strip like Prickily City.

Actually, the "Jump Start is on vacation" blurb is back while Jump Start takes Red and Rover's place as of 7/26/2022.

I was wondering after the recent run of "Curtis" reruns with the 2022 copyright date instead of the original year if any KFS strips will publicly be in reruns. We finally have one such announcement.

Attention ZITS Clients:

Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman are taking a two-week vacation. The dailies for the weeks of September 5-10 and September 12-17, 2022, and the Sundays for September 11 and September 18, 2022, are reader favorites that have been personally selected by Jerry and Jim.
Thank you,
King Features Editorial

Of course, I wouldn't expect the New York Daily News to run "Zits" those two weeks.

This Sunday's installment of Curtis (7/31/2022) is a rerun even though it still has the 2022 copyright date. I can tell it was a rerun because it has Curtis wearing his original hat (Seriously, King Features is okay with running Zits reruns - with presumably the original copyright year instead of the current one - but not Curtis reruns?!?!?)

Anyway, from looking it up in the Archives, the Sunday Curtis rerun originally ran on March 23, 2008.

Actually, as of Wednesday, July 27, 2022 the "Red and Rover is on vacation" blurb finally has shown in the 2 page NY Daily News daily comics!

And today's Red and Rover Sunday, July 31, 2022 strip is a 2019 rerun no matter what according to gocomics.

Another strip was in reruns the July 25-30, 2022 week: Mike Du Jour rerunning the July 27-August 2, 2020 "Fired by Limerick Week" strips - even when on August 1, 2022 Mike Du Jour leaves Washington Post Writers Group for Andrews-McMeel.

The July 24, 2022 Sunday Mike Du Jour strip was also a rerun - from 2016.

Week of August 1-6, 2022: Red and Rover enters week #3 in daily rerun mode of 2019 strips as Brian Bassett recovers from surgery 2.0 with the New York Daily News not carrying the rerun strips (and carries the "Red and Rover is on vacation" blurb).

Week of August 15-20, 2022:
* Red and Rover enters week #5 in daily rerun mode as Brian Bassett continues to recover from surgery 2.0 and once again the New York Daily News is not carrying the rerun week as it still has the "Red and Rover is on vacation" blurb.
* Argyle Sweater is in reruns from 2017 this week, but the New York Daily News is carrying the Argyle Sweater rerun week.

As "Red and Rover" continues its rerun mode until September 12, 2022, Baldo is in a week of August 2019 reruns this week for August 22-28, 2022. And the New York Daily News is not carrying the rerun strips for "Red and Rover" and "Baldo" this week since they both have the on vacation blurb, and Mutts temporary moved up to Baldo's space in the New York Daily News comics for this week only.

Also: The Sunday, September 4, 2022 Grand Avenue strip is a rerun from 2019..

Correction: The Sunday, September 4, 2022 Brevity strip is a rerun from August 30, 2020, not August 30, 2022.

I know for the week of September 5-11, 2022 Zits starts its 2 week current rerun mode, and the New York Daily News has the "Zits is on vacation" blurb, same for "Red and Rover" (And "Red and Rover" resumes new episodes next week).

Just saw Heathcliff is in reruns this week (Today's was from 2017).

The reruns came from 2020 - but not sure if they were redrawn to remove the then COVID pandemic face masks.

More info: The Big Nate reruns this September 19-24, 2018 come from September 2018.

For the week of September 26th Curtis is in reruns this week even though they still have the 2022 copyright date. I could tell it's a rerun because Curtis is wearing his original hat.

As of now, I don't know what date Today's rerun ("And thus it begins") is from.

I wish Ray Billingsley did a Jeff Keane by recycling Curtis strips with Curtis current hat instead of his original hat but keep the current copyright date.

I finally located the original dates for this week's Curtis reruns. They appear to be from 2016 (I really need to work on that database).

Here are the original dates of this week's reruns to date

Monday 9/26: October 15, 2016

Tuesday 9/27: October 13, 2016

Wednesday 9/28: October 12, 2016

That's all for now.

Today's Curtis rerun was originally from October 11, 2016
