Yellow Kid Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 After this I looked at a Silly Symphony. Oddly you never came across these in the flea market scrounges. I'm not sure why; maybe they didn't sell too well. Anyway when I came across this one I had to have it. The Cinderella adaptation takes up most of the book and there are numerous filler stories as shown on the cover. Any Bucky Bug fans? He is one of the most under rated of the Disney backup features with great stories and artwork. Someone should revive his tales! The Silly Symphonies series of nine issues is one of my favorites. By the way, IDW has started reprinting som3e of them and the first volume includes a lot of Bucky Bug, including the war with the ants.. Great stuff!

Hey Rich, one of the guys at work came in with a copy of the IDW book for reference a couple weeks back. I took a look at it and told him about the ant war story!! He didn't know about it but now he does. I'll be adding that book to my Amazon Christmas list and finally get to read the tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Kid Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 There will be four books in the IDW series which will give them the chance to reprint everything. Volume 1 was great, and I look forward to the others. It was great to finally get together and have lunch recently. Getting to meet you was one of the highlights of my trip. Lunch at the Carthay Circle in the California Adventure park was very nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The Brownies is a way underrated title. Nice cover with the puppy on that one too (even though as a Four Color as well it's in the wrong thread). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) For those liking gradient coloring - Chip'n'Dale # 23 - I love both gradient colourining and Chip 'n Dale comics in general. Here then are scans of a few more delightfully simple covers featuring the lovable scamps: 25 File copy 27 29 Edited October 17, 2016 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) The usual Disney gang all seem to be there; the cast of Song of the South whom somehow must have lived by the Pig's brick house based on all the concurrent appearances! Wildly weird! The Uncle Remus cast of characters actually made fairly frequent Appearances in Three Little Pigs and Li'l Bad Wolf stories.

Yup, there's also another odd connection with Dumbo and the Seven Dwarfs in other stories. I'm sure these guys were pulling out their hair trying to figure out how to come up with entertaining tales. Bongo and Lumpjaw were also great characters with Bongo sometimes wheeling into the scene in these stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
