notes: label: Description
content: "Freckles and His Friends", created and originally drawn by Merrill Blosser in 1915, followed the life of Freckles, originally 8, into his late teens, when the strip stops aging him and his friends. Distributed by Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), the strip was taken over by Blosser's assistant Henry Formhals in 1966, who continued the strip until 1971. "Hector" was a companion title to "Freckles", also drawn by Formhals. In the "Freckles" strip, Bazoo catches a fish that swallowed four others. He's caught by the game warden for catching more than the limit of three. In "Hector", the boys are at the beach, talking about a balancing act.
