She started her own Comic Strip , '' Sazae-san '', in 1946 . It reached national circulation via the Asahi Shimbun in 1949 and ran daily until Hasegawa decided to retire in February , 1974 . All of her comics were printed in Japan in digests of comic book form; by the mid- 1990s , Hasegawa's estate had sold over 60 million copies in Japan alone. Her comic strip was turned into a dramatic radio series in 1955 and a weekly animated series in 1969 , which is still running in 2005 . Selected comics were translated into English, under the title ''The Wonderful World of Sazae-san''. SEE ALSO |
