Four comics I read this week featured the same classic gag . . .
Sam's Strip (11/3/1961): Walker and Dumas. Reprinted in an excellent collection of Walker and Dumas's 'metacomic' Sam's Strip just released by Fantagraphics.
Yogi Bear #29 (7/1967): Artist unknown.
The Yellow Streak and Friends Annual #1 (1968): Artist Boring. Reprinted in David Boring (2000): Artist Clowes.
Nubbin (5/5/1986). Artists Boltinoff and Burnett. Reprinted in Robin Synder's Revolver Annual #1 (11/1986). Please note the umbrella in the last two comics. Was there really a chance of rain the day shown in Nubbin? I don't see any clouds in the sky. I think the "WOP!" was premeditated. Where would children's comics be without the "injury to the brain" motif?
What's the title of that "metacomics" book?
ReplyDeleteIsaac,
ReplyDeleteI changed the text of the post to address the question you had . . .
What the hell are you doing reading Yogi Bear?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Yogi art is a very early Hensley?
ReplyDeleteOften Diablo 3 Gold kaufenpublishers make the proper conclusion -- however his / her obtain involving Bob Ditko was improper right here.Diablo 3 items very good point.
