Conchy was an American comic strip that ran from March 2, 1970 to February 5, 1977 (daily) and March 13, 1977 (Sunday). Set on a desert island with a group of beachcombers as the main characters, the strip addressed serious issues of its time. ==Story and characters== Conchy consisted of both typical gag strips and strips about serious subjects like nuclear proliferation, political corruption and death. These ruminations were usually courtesy of either Conchy or Oom Paul, as both characters were highly individual thinkers. Conchy — Pronounced "konk-ee" (referring to conchs) - an Everyman beachcomber Oom Paul — A pipe-smoking, somewhat cynical individual who self-assuredly assumes the position as mentor to the small island clan Bug — A rugged-looking but gentle individual who enjoys life to the fullest simply because he never gives much serious thought to anything Patch and Duff — A pair of twin troublemakers who live in a cave Sea urchin — Philosopher of the tide pools, thoughtful but quiet The islanders — The original residents of Conchy's island, the islanders co-exist peacefully with the beachcombers, but they are constantly plagued with a never-ending hot- and cold-running war with the inhabitants of the neighboring East Island The king — The ruler of Conchy's island and cousin to the king in The Wizard of Id ==References== ==Bibliography== Planet Peschel: Conchy Toonopedia: Conchy Drawgerpedia: Conchy
