In fact, Specor even worked on Ckuck Jones' Pogo cartoon of the late sixties. Anyway, to me the similarity is even greater if you compare Spector's comic book work to kelly's Pogo comics. How well know are these to my readers? Should I show some of them?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-75515875304017909972008-09-19T10:29:00.000-07:002008-09-19T10:29:00.000-07:00Steve,There are many more Spenser Spook stories, s...Steve,<BR/><BR/>There are many more Spenser Spook stories, some of which you can get at goldenagecomics. Since none of those are by Spector and I am not very soon going to go into the whole West Coast animators thing, you free to scoop them up and use them. I think it is a pretty funny series, more Abbott and Costello than Casper.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-81527234949735187962008-09-19T09:58:00.000-07:002008-09-19T09:58:00.000-07:00Ha ha, great post Ger.

Never heard of this series before but now it's something else fun and spooky to add to my list of GA to look for. <BR/><BR/>This would have made a great Abbott & Costello movie.Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-66067399716867679022008-09-19T07:38:00.000-07:002008-09-19T07:38:00.000-07:00Hi Ger, thanks for posting this.Certainly his cove...Hi Ger, thanks for posting this.<BR/><BR/>Certainly his cover and story, lots of tell-tale signs. Aside from your other observations: the baton twirler pose on the cover is very similar to his cover on Giggle #97; some poses in the story are similar to some Coogys; the alternative spelling of the word "help" (HAL-LUP!), even the handwriting choice of the way he inked "The End".p spectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937340957485668849noreply@blogger.com
