User:Mikeross22/Sandbox/List of longest-running comic strips
This is a list of the longest-running comic strips with a minimum run of 30 years. Once a strip goes into re-runs, it is considered concluded. A strip that was once daily and is now only weekly still qualifies as running. For strips still running, statistics are as of 2018.
