  • Roth wrote and drew Poor Arnold's Almanac from 1959 to 1961 and again from 1989 to 1990. Roth initially created a color Sunday comic strip for the New York Herald Tribune Syndicate, and two years later, it was revived for the Creators Syndicate as both a daily and a Sunday feature. Roth recalled: I think the only other times I’ve gotten a regular check for doing work was when I had a syndicated feature with the Herald Tribune. And then a revival of that 30 years later. That was Poor Arnold’s Almanac... They had a very good comics editor. It was almost completely a writer’s syndicate. They had a few comics and the newer ones were B.C. by Johnny Hart and Mell Lazarus’ Miss Peach, which was very good also. It was sort of like Peanuts in a way, with bright little kids saying sophisticated things. But they had a few old-time things that they kept alive. I think one was called Mr. And Mrs. I can’t rattle them off. So Al sold them Tall Tales, and I sold them Poor Arnold’s Almanac, which ran two years. It was a Sunday only, which was why they canceled me. They wanted a daily. They said it makes the Sunday feature stronger. The Sunday feature was doing—not great, but well enough for me to make money. At that time I was living in England, and my magazine work and record album work was starting. I wasn’t in great haste to do a daily. But during one of my many moves, when I came back, I found that I had penciled a stack of dailies, but I was never going to ink them. I didn’t want to get too locked up in the syndicate thing.
