Based on the consensus, I'm going to figure I merely admired AJD's postings in the past. Thanks guys!

1st appearance of Boba Fettpool! Better grab it now!

Maybe that's the case.

Hoo-boy, this one could keep me up all night....I know I have seen this cover before, but I am not sure if it's because you and I had both been watching the same seller, or if it appeared on a totally different U.S. Archie title, or if they used the same gag on a U.S. Archie title with a different image.....this calls for guys who read stacks of Archies; maybe they can help us out: @143ksk @Patriot6 @Cliff R. Any insight here?

Ooooo! I'm tellin' Mr. Parker on you! @Straw-Man

Tom Mix 6!

I wonder what made him decide to change that one side of her hairdo when he gave her the blonde dye job? But yes, it works!

Thx @AJD! For the insights. Did you mean only copy you've seen of the Archie 14 or the Archie Gang 29? Guessing 14 is the one you uploaded. I'm assuming you know it's same seller because you've only seen one of each, at least in a long while? For me, it was see and take; I didn't stop to think. Which I think is a form of PTSD from shopping in GA sales threads here

Glad I got this when I did. Haven't seen one since. Maybe @AJD has one/can advise on how common they are or aren't in Australia?

More coming?

Oh, I know what you're getting at. I was just kidding around, envisioning a "remade" Warner lineup. That said, I love them for their zaniness, but they would not fly today without a major overhaul. And I agree about Song of the South; Uncle Remus is very much a heroic character but the positives get suppressed too. ETA: Did not mean to take us away from the OP's topic, and I guess funny animals despite hurdles we've enumerated seem to me to have a better shot at reinvention than many other dead/dying genres. I know they still have a fan base among collectors, but what is going to drive new collectors as they age to old-school war books? Like westerns, it will be the outliers, the most graphic and egregious depictions of a different time, that make select back issues collectible. But I don't see new collectors stacking old runs for pure enjoyment.

Amateurs! Sell 'em to Disney! Yosemite Sam would become Brooklyn Neckbeard Sam, with a food truck instead of a shotgun. Fixed. Seriously, I thought I heard they were doing another Space Jam movie? I thought the fade had more to do with creative ineptitude, but you may be right that it's a choice.

Now that's interesting; I thought Warner Bros (along with whoever owns Scooby Doo these days) was doing a better job of keeping their old funny animals alive. I've felt for a long time that the Dianey characters have become more like logos than characters; not much content featuring them. While funny animals as a concept remain popular with little kids, 1) it's easy enough to create new ones and 2) comic books are not the medium in which they are delivered. (Though I am intrigued that Marvel has a Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal book coming.) That said, if the owners of those characters keep them alive in other media, I suppose the old comics have some shot at remaining collectible. More so than most westerns or funny humans books, I think. With westerns, I think the few that remain collectible are driven by facts other than their primary genre (eg Frazetta Art, GGA, pch-style covers, early Marvel style stories, etc) Of course, there's not a lot of distinguishable keys among funny animals, other than among the Ducks books. I would bet against the vast majority of funny animals with the caveat that they are most easily recyclable. But I'd still much rather have a Scooby Doo #1 than a Roy Rogers #1 (or his 1st appearance in Four Color) both from a sentiment perspective and if I had to bet on which of the two is more likely to hold its value and liquidity as a collectible.

Two flags to four flags

Awesome! Thank you both @piper @Pete Marino

Is this ok for 10-year-olds? Is Peter Parker/Spider-Man in it?

I can see that -- been having a conversation with @oceans11 about how Avon Strange Worlds is underrated, for that reason among others.

Of all the scary, campy things predicted by science fiction, it's hard to believe love robots is turning out to be one of the things they got right.

Great thread idea, Rick! Thank you! I have been having storage issues lately and have deleted a lot of pix but this one is still here:

Great deal on LL 17 - 2nd appearance of Brainiac, to boot!
