Uncle Remus and His Tales of Brer Rabbit!?

[Hepcat]

Are there any other Uncle Remus and His Tales of Brer Rabbit fans on this board? The Uncle Remus critters are my favourite Disney characters. The "Uncle Remus and His Tales of Brer Rabbit" newspaper comic strip ran for many years until about 1966 in my hometown newspaper, "The London Free Press". I have about fifty of them.

 

Here's the first Dell Four Color Brer Rabbit. I've yet to run across a high grade copy of either the first or second Four Color Brer Rabbit.

I do have this marvelous little Brer Rabbit book though plus this fine storybook record:

[KingOfRulers]

I own a Wheaties Premium book with Brer Rabbit...

 

[Hepcat]

Those Wheaties Premium books are super, and they're not that expensive, if you can find them of course....

 

I have three Brer Rabbit ones out of about a dozen Wheaties Premium books in total.

I have the book and it is well worn from playing over and over and reading constantly.

I think they are cool books too. I have a bunch of them also. This is the only Brer Rabbit one I have though. This one and three others are actually at CGC right now. I think my favorite premium I own is actually a Rice Puffs one, which features Bugs Bunny going into the USMC. I didn't know there was any significant following of Brer Rabbit though! Post those other Brer Rabbits premiums you have! I'd like to see them.

Soon. I don't have a scanner so I'll have to take snapshots of them with a digital camera.

I was never quite able to read the original story. Of course it translates better when actually spoken but even then, I'm not sure I could recognize this Cockney American. I do love that last line thought "she sot dar, she did, en Brer Fox, he lay low."

 

You can almost hear Old Man River.

“DIDN’T the fox never catch the rabbit, Uncle Remus?” asked the little boy the next evening.

 

“He come mighty nigh it, honey, sho’s you born—Brer Fox did. One day atter Brer Rabbit fool ’im wid dat calamus root, Brer Fox went ter wuk en got ’im some tar, en mix it wid some turkentime, en fix up a contrapshun w’at he call a Tar-Baby, en he tuck dish yer Tar-Baby en he sot ’er in de big road, en den he lay off in de bushes fer to see what de news wuz gwine ter be. En he didn’t hatter wait long, nudder, kaze bimeby here come Brer Rabbit pacin’ down de road—lippity-clippity, clippity -lippity—dez ez sassy ez a jay-bird. Brer Fox, he lay low. Brer Rabbit come prancin’ ’long twel he spy de Tar-Baby, en den he fotch up on his behime legs like he wuz ’stonished. De Tar Baby, she sot dar, she did, en Brer Fox, he lay low.

I've always been a fan of that comic. I've had a couple, never higher than VG.

I remember that storybook record fondly from my childhood!!!

 

I wish Disney would finally turn aside from the political pressure and finally reissue the movie.

neat...I still sing "zip a dee do da" to my kids, as my dad sung to me...

[BB-Gun]

I have a pretty nice copy of FC129 (Fine-VFine and another VG). I probably never saw the movie (Song of the South) but read the Sunday comics and saw bits on TV.

And I like the Wheaties premiums too.

I am mostly a Disney Ducks fan, but have considered diving into other Disney characters. I picked this up a couple of years ago and I am pleased to have the opportunity to show it to you all!! I loved the coloring on this issue!! It really pops!!!!

[Montezuma]

Here's one you don't see too often, the interior appears to be by Al Hubbard, the little girl character could have stepped out of Mary Jane and Sniffles.

[bronzilla]

This might sound like a dumb question but is that the only rendition of Uncle Remus in a comic Book?? I dont remember seeing him, only the characters. Neat item BTW!!

Was in Italy when this came up on ebay. Managed to snipe it for about $35.

Was waiting when I returned yesterday:

 

 

Saw one of these go about 6 years ago on ebay, but couldn't afford the $80 it went

for at the time. Been wanting one ever since.
