I also posted the following a few months ago in a sales thread where this 'TOON topic came up then as well. George Trosley official web site

Bought this at the NYCC last year.

Very cool! I don't have #1!

 

 

What really surprises me is that somebody thought to slab it. Most drag/hot rod humour mags are not sufficiently well appreciated to slab.

Incidentally, "Big Daddy" Roth "joined" the staff of Pete Millar's Drag Cartoons in issue #4. Here's a scan of the back cover:

 

 

"Big Daddy" was featured in a one page story in issue #4:

 

 

The issue also contained both an ad for Roth's T-shirts:

 

 

Plus another for the "Big Daddy" Roth fan club:

 

 

The artwork for both the stories and the ads appears to be by Pete Millar himself. This Millar drawn ad for subscriptions is reflective of the general zaniness featured in the magazine:

 

 

Drag Cartoons also invariably featured a membership ad for the National Association for the Advancement of Flatheads:

 

 

Let me solemnly assure everyone that I would certainly have joined this august association had I the money at the time.

Nice, any complete lists to which issues have Gilbert Shelton and which issues have Bid Daddy Roth?

 

[Hepcat]

Issues #25-49 have Wonder Wart-Hog stories by Gilbert Shelton. The later issues also have Shelton Bull' O Fuzz stories.

 

Issues #4-10 have "Big Daddy" Roth stories. Issues #3-16 have steadily larger Roth T-shirt ads starting with a half pager in issue #3. By issue #13 the T-shirt ads are a full two pages.

Hepcat, thanks for taking the time to post these. I don't collect these but it's nonetheless facinating seeing these covers.

[Dr. Balls]

Cool books Hepcat, (thumbs u

 

I recall seeing Big Daddy Roth and his hot rods in many magazines and ad''s during the 60's. I know I had one issue of Cartoons, from about 65, that I read many a time. There was a story of a kid who "borrowed" auto parts from his neighbor to assemble his hot rod, if I recall correctly.
