The [[Sunday strip]] was launched October 24, 1920. The 1930s Sunday pages did not always employ traditional gags, but often offered a gentle view of nature, imaginary daydreaming with expressive art, or naturalistic views of small-town life. Reviewing Peter Maresca and [[Chris Ware]]'s ''Sundays with Walt and Skeezix'' (Sunday Press Books, 2007), comics critic Steve Duin quoted writer [[Jeet Heer]]:

{{blockquote|Unlike the daily strips, which traced narratives that went on for many months, the Sunday pages almost always worked as discrete units," Heer writes. "Whereas the [[daily strip|dailies]] allowed events to unfold, Sunday was the day to savor experiences and ruminate on life. It is in his Sunday pages that we find King showing his visual storytelling skills at their most developed: with sequences beautifully testifying to his love of nature, his feeling for artistic form, and his deeply felt response to life.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oregonlive.com/steveduin/2007/08/sundays_with_walt_and_skeezix.html|title=Sundays with Walt and Skeezix|first=Steve Duin &#124; For The|last=Oregonian/OregonLive|date=5 August 2007|website=Oregonlive.com|access-date=24 December 2021}}</ref>}}
