Sir Bagby was an American daily strip created by brothers Rick Hackney and Bill Hackney, who signed the strip "R & B Hackney." The setting was a medieval world filled with anachronisms and puns. (In that, it resembled Jack Kent's King Aroo, distributed by the same syndicate.) The strip ran in a small number of US newspapers from 1957 to 1967, as well as in The Canberra Times from 1960 to 1966.[1] In 2022, Rick Norwood, editor of Comics Revue, purchased the copyright to Sir Bagby, so he could keep the strip in print.
