The Sunday funnies will add a touch of pink this weekend as more than 50 cartoonists include a breast cancer awareness theme in their newspaper and online comic strips.Beyond Blondie's pink blouse, Hagar the Horrible's pink beard and Popeye's pink corncob pipe, every strip from the King Features Syndicate will feature a pink ribbon and the tagline "Cartoonists Care.""Nearly everyone has a connection to this heart-wrenching disease, and we felt it was important to make a powerful statement," says Brendan Burford, King Features' comics editor. "We could think of no better way to do that than by turning the funny pages pink."
