A meta-love letter to the comic strip, “Sam’s Strip,” by Mort Walker and Jerry Dumas, first appeared on October 16, 1961. (As it was ahead of its time, it ran only into 1963.) Here are some examples:

The daily version of Will Eisner's "The Spirit" first appeared on October 13, 1941. (The landmark Sunday Spirit section had made its debut in June 1940.) Unlike the now-legendary Sunday Spirit section, which continued into 1952, the daily strip ended in 1944.

Terry and the Pirates by Milton Caniff from October 12, 1941. The last Sunday strip before the death of Raven Sherman, which was a widely reported event in popular culture at the time.

Terry and Dude Hennick are worried about Raven, who is resting in a tent due to her injuries. She is in a bad shape so they create a gurney and attempt to travel but do not make it far before running out of water. They try to give Raven hope but she has accepted that she is dying. She asks them to stop so she can watch the sun come up one more time.

In “Peanuts,” Snoopy first appeared as the WWI flying ace 60 years ago, on October 10, 1965. (I’d wager that, thanks to Peanuts, the Sopwith Camel is the only WWI airplane most people can name.) Here’s the debut of the flying ace and his biplane, before the many battles with the Red Baron.
