Koky
Samples from 1981 of the Sunday pages from Koky, a comic strip drawn by Mort Gerberg and written by Richard O’Brien. This particular sequence deals with two women working in an office environment. Koky was syndicated by the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate. It was one of the first strips based on the concept of a housewife who also pursued a professional career. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by the great success of Lynn Johnston’s For Better or For Worse, and was cancelled in 1981. Gerberg also wrote and drew a daily gag panel Hang In There that was syndicated by the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate, dealing with the subject of the financial challenges in everyday business and personal life. New Yorkers would have found these comics published in The Daily News. He later used similar character designs in some children’s books he illustrated.
