The current sources are all unverifiable as they've gone 404 and I can't prove how much coverage they gave. Given that I only get 30 hits for the strip's name, I doubt the sources were substantial to begin with and I found no more in a WP:BEFORE. Zero results on GNews, for one.

Comment: The article cites six print articles; the submission speculates that these are not substantial but this is speculation only. Perhaps this submission would be stronger if these print sources were investigated first. HenryCrun15 (talk) 05:44, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with HenryCrun that more investigation in a case like this is required, so I will try to see what I can confirm:

The Boston College Magazine source we have: [1].
I cannot confirm through Google a connection between "Heather Matthews" and the Manchester Mirror. Might of course only be established in print.
John Clayton was indeed a columnist on the New Hampshire Union Leader during this period. No online archives available.
The Front Porch appears to be a daily interview show on local radio. I have no difficulty believing Walters interviewed Yuenger, but its use as a reliable source is very questionable.
WNDS News Now appears to be a news TV program (example). I've never seen something like this used as a source before, and I'm not sure how it would stand.

All of these sources being local, I feel fairly comfortable !voting Delete for this article, as a subject that is only of local interest. Most of these publications/programs have very little established presence within their (international) cultural sphere. If someone came in and gave more context on these sources, I might change my mind. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 13:20, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is a spin-off of the graphic novel series of the same name begun in 1989 This isn't much to go on, but if a publisher is identified I might be able to find some old print sources covering the original series. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:26, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
