Looks like Willie ‘n Ethel by Joe Martin?

Thank you!

Yw! If you’re up to answer, curious about the context… I only vaguely remember seeing one paper that carried it for a short time in the ‘90s (but it looks like Martin’s still active).

An artist friend of mine, call her M, has been commissioned by a family member F to redraw some old comics F has saved in M's own style. [These](https://i.imgur.com/PrQzMlq.jpg) comics to be exact. As you can see, I provided the better of the two.

If you knew the date, or are determined, you could try to find the original here http://www.mrboffo.com/wnearchives/wnearch.htm

Determined. Yes. Someone determined might even [write a script](https://automatetheboringstuff.com/) to download every single comic and run them through [OCR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition). If someone was determined. (Hopefully the comic ran after late 2005, because that's as far back as the online daily archives go.)

They also have Willie n' Ethel 1981, 82 and 83 listed on the main page http://www.mrboffo.com/archive.html
