Grandma

Grandma is a comic strip by Charles Kuhn that ran from April 14, 1947 to June 28, 1969. He usually signed the strip "Chas. Kuhn". Publication history Grandma began April 14, 1947. It was originally distributed by Duke Richardson's Indianapolis-based syndicate, Richardson Feature Service. A year later, Grandma was picked up by King Features Syndicate, which distributed it from June 28, 1948, until June 28, 1969. The Sunday page began November 20, 1949. Kuhn used it to introduce an innovative, interactive device; a single panel in the middle tier was displayed minus colors, so that young readers could use crayons to complete the coloring. It was captioned "Color this one, kids!" or "Here's one to color, kids!" By 1952, the strip ran internationally in 240 newspapers.
