The Sun Journal is introducing a new cartoon strip titled “Curtis,” starting Monday.

The strip, drawn by Ray Billingsley, details the day-to-day urban life of a close-knit, contemporary, African American family. Billingsley grew up in Harlem and he features characters who are directly influenced by real people and events the artist has known and experienced, according to King Features, which syndicates the strip.

We hope you enjoy this addition to our comics pages.
