#5: “See You in the Funny Papers” — A Casual Goodbye
Saying “See you in the funny papers” was fun as a goodbye, referring to the beloved comics that ran in Sunday newspapers. It meant that the person was so strange or funny that they belonged in the company of Dick Tracy or Little Orphan Annie. Today’s goodbyes are boring, but this phrase brought a bit of humor to past daily goodbyes.
