The Rookie Comic Strip is back. Beginning Monday, Peter Murphey's "Hippy and Pop" will appear on the Deseret News' daily comic pages to try out for a permanent spot.
The strip stars Alan McLusky — a k a Hippy — a child of the '60s who sports a ponytail and works as a game programmer and designer for a kids video-game company. His father, Eugene, is Pop, who is retired from the customer service department at the Registry of Motor Vehicles. He lives with Alan and Alan's family and spends a lot of his time complaining to his congressman.
