Angel by Mel Casson ran longer than I thought. What let it down in the end was not the Hank Ketcham derivated art, but the second Hand Dennis the Menace jokes, which literally read like rejects from Dennis writers.

Welcome To The Club
Monday Cartoon Day.
Today I have a couple of Wilbert cartoons by Gill Fox. They were done in a style which was influenced by Hank Ketcham. he wasn't the only artist working in that style around that time. There were quite a few Dennis the Menace imitations at that time, both in the comics and on the newspaper page. One of them was Angel, by Mel Casson - which also spawned a comic book series. An earlier effort by Casson, called Sparky, met with less succes. After all that I have the large selection of pages from a comic book called Clubhouse Rascals, which I think is by Fox. Or is it Casson anyway? Or someone else? Imitation styles are a lot harder to identify.
