The Heart of Juliet Jones Dailies - 01/08/1993 and 01/09/1993

The Heart of Juliet Jones was a soap opera comic strip series that began in the 1950s and was distributed by King Features Syndicate in many newspapers. Elliot Caplin wrote and co-created the strip with Stan Drake, the original illustrator. The younger brother of Al Capp, creator of Li'l Abner, Caplin had an impressive list of titles in his own right over the course of his long career. After Stan Drake's run, Frank Bolle became the sole illustrator from 1989 until it ended in 2000. With Caplin’s passing. This newspaper strip revolved around the dramatic tales of sisters Juliet and Eve Jones in various realistic yet captivating situations.

These two dailies were drawn on one board, similar to the other pair I recently posted. All are from the same Scooby-Doo-esque story arc about a haunted house and Eve getting kidnapped. Of course, in the end, we find out “old man” Silas Henshaw did it. I haven’t read the whole thing, but he probably wanted to knock it down for an amusement park or something.
