Here are four examples of the classic strip Blondie from 1942. At that time, it was still being done by its creator Chic Young. What's most striking about these to me is that, with just one or two details changed, they could be examples of the current edition of the strip.
Here's a good example of what I meant about how consistent this strip has been for over seventy years: compare the first panel in the strip above to the first panel of
the Blondie strip that was published in newspapers today.
I don't consider that kind of consistency a bad thing-- rather it speaks to the timelessness of a classic strip.
