In fact I have recently picked up clipping this strip again and will soon be able to show the remainder from november 1949 to May 1950. I have been trying to touch up the daileis, but After not having finished even one panel after half an hour, I gave up (for now).<br />Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-47645183201255690032010-06-24T08:54:30.026-07:002010-06-24T08:54:30.026-07:00Wow, i really dig the work of this guy, as well as...Wow, i really dig the work of this guy, as well as of much of the authors you show here... i've been following you for some months now, and just wanted to thank you for share these treasures!Miguel Portohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507023862759894300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-68753651216159762122010-06-20T19:50:39.425-07:002010-06-20T19:50:39.425-07:00Ger,

But your b&w dailies all seem to be bitmapped and 700 pixels. Is all your source material that small?<br /><br />A lot of it is hard to find, so I guess we take it and like it. But I wish it all could be as nice looking as the Sundays.George Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276174178843123256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-69485289701083880022010-06-18T15:53:41.238-07:002010-06-18T15:53:41.238-07:00I'm drooling, Ger!

I think seeing the actual color pages from the Sunday papers is the best part of seeing these great works.Dan Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690690527546764926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-25245647995244663362010-06-18T14:43:27.321-07:002010-06-18T14:43:27.321-07:00Lucky for you I have many more, Dan.

I am a sucker for the old Caniff style, which is why I like your work as well. But I won't spill them all at once, since I have so much more stuff to get to in the same school. Lee Elias' Sunday only Beyond Mars, Alex Kotzky's "Duke" Handy, Spranger's Bodyguard and it's follow-up The Bantam Prince, the early version of The Saint, Doug Wildey's later Saint, Judge Parker, Dan Spiegle's Hopalong Cassidy, Bill Dyer's Patsy, A.C. Hollingsworth's Scorchy Smith (and his almost unknown satrical work), the rest of Ray Bailey's Tom Corbett (including some new 1953 Sundays I got) and much much more. And I hope you are all buying Jett Scott, because it's beautiful.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-39803282615892399612010-06-18T09:43:15.532-07:002010-06-18T09:43:15.532-07:00The best part about these types of postings you do...The best part about these types of postings you do,Ger, is the gorgeous Sunday pages these cartoonists used to create. We can only wish newspaper publishers would wake up and give cartoonists more room to do these types of pages again. Well, at least we have these!<br /><br />Dan<br />www.comics.com/rip_haywireDan Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690690527546764926noreply@blogger.com
