Looking for Mel Lazarus' daily panel Li'l Ones, I saw I still had a couple of ads for Ivory soap featuring Li'l Ivory and Sudsy. The charming art is by an unknown artist.

Lots of Fung
Wednesday Advertising Day.
A couple of newly scanned oddball ads. The first one seems to be by Dik Browne in a different style than his usual one. The princess has his unique look, though. The Dumb Dora ads are by Paul Fung and delightful as ever. I showed one more in color and a couple of Paul Fung's other ads in previous posts. I also added two of those in black and white.

I Wash My Hands
Wednesday Advertising Day.
Last week, the wonderful Joakim (who has his own blogs, which I visit regularely) informed me that the combined Joys and Glooms/Mr. Caffeine Nerves ad I showed in his opinion was by Paul Fung Sr. After checking a couple of internet sources, I found that he took over Dumb Dora from Chic Young and assisted on Polly and her Pals. He died at an early age in 1944. After that, his son worked as an assistant to Young on Blondie, reportedly taking over the strip in the fifties before being allowed to sign his name to it in the sixties. From what I had seen of Fung's style combined led me to believe that he could not have been the Fung doing those ad strips. I was also looking for evidence that would link Fung Jr. to the Fireball Twigg series of ads in 1947 (after Fung Sr. died). Still, after reading Joakim's post, I realized I had another Fung signed ad strip in my archives. I present it here, with what could possiblu the rest of the run. In july the strip was suddenly replaced by another series, with another artist. This may be the point that Fung Sr. died. I do recall seeing the replacement strip Li'l Ivry somewhere else as well.
