National Lollipop Day is one of those occasions where you'd just like to post the lyrics to an infectious 1958 pop song and revel in the earworm plague you've just unleashed upon an unsuspecting internet. But, barring your link-clicking curiosity, you're better off enjoying a selection of confection-based comics celebrating the sugar-on-a-stick known in many circles as a lollipop. It's true that with every passing day, the snappier term "sucker" threatens to dethrone the lickable lolly's top spot in the candy lexicon, but in these troubled times, there's comfort in latching onto tradition. Read these comics as you grip tightly to your memories of an evaporating era when doctors, bank tellers and suspicious dudes at raves handed lollipops out like... candy.
