This website is devoted to the Carol Day newspaper comic strip, which
ran from 1956-1967, and its creator, David Wright.
Carol Day is a wonderful comic strip by a great artist. With its combination
of sophisticated themes and stories, multi-dimensional characters and always
magnificent art, Carol Day transcends even the best American strips of the time,
but it has been woefully neglected. Though it was syndicated in around 70
papers around the world, this high-spot of the newspaper comic strip has
never been collected, and it never appeared in the US. According to Patrick
Wright, David's son, "even though the Hearst Newspaper did attempt to
head-hunt my father in the early 1950s, it was felt Carol Day was too
sophisticated for the American market!"
This website makes the art, stories and background material of this neglected
strip and its creator readily available for the first time. We hope
you enjoy it. The site is continuing to expand as we scan and post more
Carol Day and David Wright material. Please don't hesitate to send us
comments, criticisms, suggestions or any material you think should be
incorporated into the site.
Patrick Wright, son of David Wright, is the current copyright holder of
Carol Day, and he has graciously allowed us to reproduce this material here.
Please respect his generosity and do not pirate this material.
