Robot Man Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Billy Bunny's Christmas Frolics #1 1952 Giant 100 page Farrell Annual Farrell only put out 4 annuals I believe. This is one of them. Cool Christmas cover with pretty decent contents for a "funny animal" book. A scarce book. Back cover is missing. Square, full, tight paper spine with no fade. These are usually severly rolled with paper missing when found. This one is nice. Has a "25 cents" grease pencil mark in center of cover. Tiny chip out of bottom left corner. No tears or creases. Front cover and spine are well attached to interior. Pages are off white to very light cream. Supple with no damage. I know it's a stinker funny animal book... but this one is a real exception I think Was $45. Now $40. Edited May 5, 2020 by Robot Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Well other than lizzards2, seems like crickets here today. Must just be Marvel collectors on today... Got another pile or two of similar stuff to do. Depends how today goes. Might come back with some more today or hit it tomorrow. In the meantime, I think I might "excercise MY rights", crank up my Indian, meet up with a couple of my biker buddies and take a ride down to beach and harass some protestors. Socially distancing of course with a bandanna. Norrin's lawyer, OdinsSecrets and IngelsFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet the opposite seems to be the case. Funny old times. Enjoy the ride. I may not buy, but I do enjoy window shopping here in your threads. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
