Get reacquainted with Brimstone. You know Heathcliff. You know Garfield. Get to know Brimstone. Created by Vahan Shirvanian (1925-2013), Brimstone initially appeared in the comic
No Comment a gag-a-day pantomime strip.
No Comment began April 9, 1979 and was syndicated by King Features. Eventually the pantomime was dropped and an elephant became a recurring character. Shirvanian then introduced an orange and black cat named Brimstone.
No Comment, now fully starring Brimstone, ended on April 25, 1982. Four books reprinting
No Comment strips were published, three of them focusing only on Brimstone.
