One of my commentators asked for the Willie Lumpkin strip of his birthday. It took me some time to find it and the condition is not super, but here it is.
...Yaaaayyy !!!!!!!!! ( I assume that is 1-26-SIXTY ? ) Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) I presume Continental Europeans use the " day first " method of riting names down , " 26-1-60 " ? Of course , you are (primarily , anyway) writing about American , and so American-dated , things...........Do you eve asee Archie Comics various digest titles in the US ? ( Which now all have the sub-name " Double Digest " - Archie Double Digest , Betty & Veronica Double Digest , etc. ) For the past few years they have been using Archie Sunday strips , all from the Henry Scarpielli/Craig Boldman era , as filler materia . As run , they take off the dates .
I am not really into the whole Archie thing, although I do like my friend Craig Yoe's book on Archies Madhouse. I have suggested to him to use Bud Sagendorf Sundays as filler material on the comic book reprints. Those first few years are great. I have shown a few on my blog and have about 50 waiting to be scanned.
I have been doing these American comics for so long I have forgotten what the European or the Amrican way of notinh the date is. My method is YEAR-MM-DD, which mkes them line up properly in my folders. You can see those notations as part of the file name.
I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

I have been doing this blog for over ten years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
I highly recommend
Getting any of these wonderful books will help me fund this page.
I am a Dutch television writer, who has written about comics and television for a number of publications here in Holland and in the US. I love hearing from (forgotten) artists and/or their relatives, so if you are one of those and happen upon this blog, please leave a note.
