Description:

"Hi and Lois", created and drawn by Dik Browne (1917-1989) and Mort Walker (b. 1923), continues to be drawn by the sons of the original team and distributed by King Features Syndicate. The comic strip features the domestic life of Hi and Lois Flagston and their family of four children and a dog. Lois is the sister of Mort Walker's other comic character, Beetle Bailey. In this strip, the children sit split between their parents. Chip, their teenage son, remarks: "If this family were any bigger, they wouldn't be able to stop the fights."
