Mythic Mystic

Saturday Leftover Day. Basil Wolverton collectors will know that the comic master had a series of four page stories in Fawcett's Comic Comic. I should go back and collect all ten of them (a small book's worth) but haven't yet, so here are the two I got. With that a twopager from one of the issues that I am pretty certain is by Fred Ottenheimer. Otterheimer did a lot of uncredited fillers for various Fawcett titles, bit this one is a bit more substantial.

A Mix Of Characters

Saturday Leftover Day.

Of course, DC was not the only company using gag pages as filler. Fawcette's Tom Mix Western comics has a couple of fillers by different artists. Cowboy Cal was one of the most frequent. The artist is said to be Al Liederman, who works in a nice sharp cartoon style which you see evolve over the first few episodes.

The Mother Of All Inventions

Here are a couple of fun pages I have had lying around for some time, hoping to find some more. But now I have forgotten what title I took them from. Anyway, it's one of those Fawcett titles, a company which always seemed to aim to a bit more juvinile audience than the others. I think it was Whiz, or something like that. Anyway, I really like these and I really liked this kind of pages in my comic weekly in Holland when I was younger. It's like Myth Busters, but without the explosions.
