And now for somthing completely different... Arnaud W. is a fellow Dutch collector of newspaper strips from the forties and fifties, whom I got to know when we kept bidding on the same items on eBay. We agreed to send each other scans and I have benefitted from that a lot. Recently, I came across some samples of a strip I do not collect or usually scan - on the back of a full year of another strip I do want to show some day. Both are highly realistiscally drawn adventure strips, by artists who came from the magazine illustration field. Mitzi McCoy is the first and mostly forgotten strip from the later Kevin the Bold artist Kreigh Collins. Dick's Adventures was a minor series that was give the Prince Valiant treatment, but without the compelling scip, characters or setting. And no, I do not know what's up with the blue noght scenes. Is that a recurring misprint or somethng this strip did more often? there are moths between some of these strips and it keeps coming back.
