Olivia Jaimes‘ update was a few years back (2019) but it was an was an interesting take on Ernie Bushmiller’s classic strip. More about her revamp here.

Echo Four-Two, Bad Manners (1980)Bad Manners hooked me with their cover of Millie Small‘s 1964 hit My Boy Lollipop (a cover of My Girl Lollipop credited to Robert Spencer of The Cadillacs and recorded by Barbie Gaye in 1956). Bad Manners also recorded one of the prettiest reggae love songs ever: Samson and Delilah.
