More Wizardy

Friday Festivities. 

Here are some more magnificent Sundays from Johnny Hart and Brent Parker's Wizard of Id, which I prepared two years ago, but may have neglected to upload. If not, the remain fresh as ever.

 

Sunday Magic

Saturday Leftover Day. I have been working on my Wizard collection. More to come. I am selling these tearsheets and more on Ebay. If you want more of these early Sundays, you cab use the link.

 

Stone Hedge

Tuesday History Day. 

Back when I used to do this daily, I have often said 'When in doubt, share some BC'. Still the funniest slapstick strip ever. I have started cleaning some more, starting with 1963 and 1964.

 

The King Is A Link!

Saturday Leftover Day. 

 I have an almost complete set of Wizard of Id Sundays from 1968 and 1969. I am actually selling the complete sections they came from on Ebay, wich also includes some terrific Pogo pages and many other strips. I have shown many of them before, but it turned out I have left out a few, so I started cleaning them as well. If you want to se the others, click the link. Otherwise you can go on to the last one, a gag I rather like from the current team (who do the new B.C. as well).

 

Smart Dumbasses

Sunday Leftover Day. 

Here's an almost 50 years old B.C. gag that shows how well Johnny Hart and his writers understood human nature.

 

After preparing some Beetle Bailey's I went to work on another classis (and another one of my favorites). Here are some more B.C. Sunday gags. For me, Johnny Hart was the best actual cartoonist among his fellow newspaper strip makers. The expressiveness of his characters is fenomenal. Some of these are from 1976, when for some reason all the slapstick seemed to disappear from the Sunday gags. I only found out later that most of that returned later that decade. What happened there? Was he no able to give it his all in those years?
