Comic Weekly Man was a unique radio show that captured the hearts of both children and adults through its dramatic readings of Sunday comic strips. The show's charming host, the Comic Weekly Man, would read a variety of popular comic strips such as Blondie, Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois, and many others, bringing the characters to life with the help of music and sound effects. The show allowed listeners to immerse themselves in the stories, and many avid fans would follow along with their own print copies of the comics in hand.

The show aired from 1947 to 1954. The Comic Weekly Man was initially portrayed by an unnamed actor, but the role was later taken on by Lon Clark. During its run, the show featured readings of well-known comic strips such as Flash Gordon, Roy Rogers, Scamp and the Paint, and Little Iodine, among others, creating a memorable and nostalgic experience for many listeners.
