The Right Lane

Sunday Crime Connections. 

Some time go I did a post sharing all of my (color) scans of The Good Guys. An exciting crime strip with a satirical edge to it. The strip itself was a continuation of Vic Flint, which had been started by Richard Lane, way back in the forties. Artist John Lane was the son of Richard and I wondered if he started with The Good Guys or if he was involved earlier. I gather as many Vic Lane Sundays as I could from the last months of it's run. Some not in prime condition. All I see is that there was a lot of shuffling of artists and John Lane might have been one of them. See it as an invite to revisit The Good Guys (via the link underneath)

Sunday Cleaning. 

Just another day, waiting to go to a party... time do do some file cleaning.

Rock Around the Crock

Saturday Legion Loonies. I had a set of scans from the 1976-2012 newspaper strip Crock. Created by Brent Parker, for his Wizard of Id assistant Bill Rechin, the writing was soon taken over by Don Wilder. After Wilder died in 2008 Rechin wrote it himself. The strip is set smewhere in the desert in North Africa and is based on the Foreign Legion Movie Beau Geste. It follows the Hart/Parker/Walker school of newspaper comics in having a strong set of diverse and funny characters as it's base. Never top of the bill, but always worth a chuckle.
