That half page layout looks pretty good actually, it suits the flow of the strip better if you ask me.
P.S. I don't suppose you have any of my old favourites in your scan pile do you? Smitty and Peter Rabbit - the latter is really hard to come by online once the 100+ on ILoveComix have been read.
I agree. I don't think there is any strip that doesn't look better in the half page format. Even the often maligned Dan Flagg. I have to admit I had a lot of Peter Rabbit, but never scanned them. I may still have a stack left over from when I sold my Herald Tribune tearsheets. Most of them are two tier ones by Vince Fago, but I also have some half pages by Harrisson Cardy. Private Message me on Facebook if you want to make a deal about buying them.
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.

Geen dijenkletsers maar wel leuk getekend.
