It's a bottomless pit of nostalgia. When I was asked why I became an Army East Asia Foreign Area Officer, I used to answer, "Because I listened to Terry and the Pirates on the radio as a kid."
Hop Harrigan was great too!
Incidentally, I have a complete collection of bound Milton Caniff-era Terrys, all of Scorchy Smith 1933-1936, the wartime Captain Easy (when he was a Navy pilot), and a fair amount of Steve Canyon.
I followed other aviation comic strips, including Smilin' Jack, but compared to the others, he was too - er - cartoonish.
