shiverbones Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 The thing about Funny Animals is, it's the cheapest early GA comic form that has not become obsolete. There are ups and downs, but as a genre, there will always be "Funny Animals" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerKid Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Apparently dem funny animals don't play too many card games. These are the only two I know of - and the Alice doesn't really quite fit. Anyone know of any other cards on animal covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Four color 331 has a card cover. There have to be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hey, I'll ask again the experts here. Anyone know the first comic appearance of the following Yosemite Sam Tweety and Sylvester Road Runner and Coyote (I think this is the RR Four Color but I don't know if he showed up earlier in LTMM) Other minor characters Michigan P Frog Marvin the Martian Foghorn OK, you get the theme I think. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four Color 406 - 1st appearance of Tweety and Sylvester also recognized by OS and CGC as Tweety and Sylvester #1 - Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 For Jack, a couple of nose / snout / muzzle abuse covers including even a snout bondage cover - Snout bondage! I wouldn't worry about these though. Seems more like snouts at play than snout abuse. There's a fine line. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Certainly that is Tweety and Sylvester #1 but Sylvester has appeared prior and as early as FC 271 on the cover. Wikipedia only discusses the comics with Sylvester on the title showing 406 as his first comic. Technically true but not his first appearance which in comcland is all important. Still the #1 is such a good cover of both characters and a 9.4 is pretty awesome. Anyway, His first cartoon was in 1945 Life with Feathers where the cat is unnamed and the bird isn't Tweety. Tweety Pie is probably the first real appearance of both in 1947 but Tweety fist showed in a 1942 cartoon. I can't remember if he was named but he did utter his infamous line, so it clearly is Tweety. The other interesting thing about many of these funny animal comics is that the first appearances are so unknown and uncared about. The general population might put Tweety and Sylvester or Yosemite Sam as in the top 50 most recognized cartoon figures but in comic land, they get no respect. Disney has all the minor characters broken out: Beagle boys, Gladstone, Gyro etc. Overstreet can breakout Archie Pureheart, Sabrina the Witch, or Little Max and many others. Yet it forgets about the Warner Brother cartoon characters??? Seems weird that's all. Add Tazmanian Devil, Speedy Gonzales, Granny, and the Orange Monster to the mix of first appearances I'd be interested in.
