Week in TV History

The Mad Peck was known to boast he was the man who watched more television than anyone else and perhaps to prove it he created “This Week in TV History,” a regular feature in alternative newspapers that spotlighted his amazing knowledge of Boob Tube history. The single-panel comic strip lasted over two years, coming to its series finale after 110 episodes. (Select image to enlarge.)
