Room and Board by Gene Ahern (1230-) - 1st appearance 1936, The story of Homer Augustus Puffle is a direct take-off of Ahern's earlier success, Our Boarding House. Set in a boarding house. Puffle was the central character, a retired judge whose days of the past were the fodder of epic boasts. The action of the strip was the judge usually trying to find a way to enjoy his recreation, in spite of his wife Nora. Both the dailies and sundays were gag strips although the was occasional short-lived continuity when Puffle was telling tales of his past to the kids of the boarding house. Generally recognized as inferior to Our Boarding House, Room & Board was still very funny. Ahern may have toned down his acidic humor in this strip, but he did not lose his wonderful sense of irony. The market for Room & Board is good. Both dailies and sundays sell OK at standard gag strip prices.
