Written and drawn by Jerry Dumas, Sam and Silo, chronicles the comic misadventures of a small-town sheriff and his deputy. The genesis of the strip came in 1961, when Dumas and comic strip legend Mort Walker created Sam's Strip.
Sam and Silo are characters in the classic mould. They don't attempt to solve the secrets of the universe. They don't have profound ideas about politics or the economy or the communications revolution. They just aim to brighten their allotted space in the newspaper each day with a laugh or chuckle.
