Potato

A charming curiosity from the Bronze Age, Potato made their debut in The Calgary Herald Comic Book #8 in 1978 — a rare piece of Canadian newspaper-comics history from the pages of the Calgary Herald itself. With only a handful of catalogued appearances across 1978–1979, this is a genuinely scarce find, sharing the spotlight with the likes of Buck Rogers and Elly Patterson in what amounts to a wonderfully eclectic snapshot of the era's comic strip culture. For collectors with a taste for the offbeat and regional, Potato is exactly the kind of obscure gem that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
