Sunday Surprise Day.
It's been a while since I did a couple of Al Jaffee's Tall Tsles Sundays. But Recently I started cleaning my scans again and tehre is still a lot to go. I do noit have a complete set, but it certainly is the largest group of this excellent Sunday gag strip you can find anywhere on the web. More to come, I promise. Follow the link for the others.
Sunday Johnstone and Cushing Day.
Some time ago I shared some scans from a Johnstone and Cushing produced advertising comic for pertrol stations. I can't recall which oil company company, but the name Richfield, which is mentioned in these strips, doesn't ring a bell. The comic book Under the Hood was produced by Johnstone and Cushing (actually there were two issues) and filled with cartoons and short gags by all of their regular funny artists: Dik Browne, Gil Fox, Sakren, Jack Markow and more. Apparently gil Fox did a comic strip ad for Richfield around the same time, possibly related. They were published once a week, but at various different dates for different papers. Not a lot, but any Fox is Good Fox for me.
Tuesday Ad Day.
I am slowly selling off some of my collection on Ebay. Today I uploaded the auction ads for all of my Best Cartoons of the Year books by Lawrence Lariar (1943, 1944, 1945, 1948, 1953, 1957, 1958). As per usual I have added as many smaple images as possible. But I have even more for the first three books, because those years Lariar included bio's and selfportraits of all (or most) of the cartoonists that he features, somewhere between 30 and 50 for each one. So, to entertain you as much as to put those scans somewhere they don't get lost.. here they are. Let's hope one day, I will be able to add the bio's for the 1941 and 1942 books as well.
