This blog started a year ago with the release of my book “Miss Mizzou: A Life Beyond Comics” and I’ve been blogging about the character at least once a week since then.
Blog highlights:
- Graph showing popularity of word “Mizzou” over time
- Music that Miss Mizzou sang in the comic-strip
- Summer Olson’s role in Miss Mizzou’s popularity
- Comic characters inspired by Marilyn Monroe
- Columbia, MO, landmarks mentioned in “Steve Canyon”
- Miss Mizzou paper doll homage from the 1980s
- Marilyn Monroe’s 1952 calendar and Miss Mizzou
- Similarities of the Barbie doll & Miss Mizzou doll
- Dean Mott’s connection to Milton Caniff & Mort Walker
- Double meaning of the “Miss Mizzou” name
For the most part I’m done with this blog, though I might add a post now and then if something interesting comes up. Thanks for reading!
