Thursday Cowbiy Day. Some years ago I collected a whole lot of Sunday strips from the Midland Reporter Telegram. The MRT was a NEA paper, which means that they had all of the lesser known and lesser distributed strips from that syndicate, some of my favorites (and very hard to find). Unfortunately the mico-fiche scans were very bad, ranging from way too dark to far too light. Cleaning out my files, I decided to share them anyway for the unseen gems that may be among them.
The subject of today's post was completely un known to me until I found thios paper. The arist is familiar, since I have posted some of his other material earlier. Clark Haas was an extremely competent comedy artist, who is best known for making the late fifties/early sixties 'animation' series Clutch Cargo and Space Angel, where the animation effect was reached by double exposing real moving mouths over static art (by artists such as Alex Toth and Doug Wildey). He als wrote for the Addams Family television series of the ealry sixties. Yipee is a fun, but harmless, noder comedy western series, which - like yesterday's Things to Com - ran as a half page tabloid.
