[selegue]

 

Be prepared to own some GGA next year, when I decide to change from that;)

 

 

I'm salivating in anticipation.

 

 

Drooling =water stains;)

 

I promise to keep them in the baggies.

I don't think you can count Sagendorf and Holman covers featuring their signature characters short bus books - but thanks for posting them anyway.

I wouldn't and you wouldn't, but I don't see any Spandex, X-ray vision, zombies or angst. Let's ask over in Comics General.

 

That poor, neglected Popeye book sat unloved and ignored in skypinkblu's VCC booth until I nagged and wheedled her into selling it to me. Cost me a pretty penny, believe you me.

I am liking that bright purple suit.

[skypinkblu]

I knew I shouldn't have sold that;) PURPLE;)

I am liking that bright purple suit.

 

The yellow hat and green blob really bring out the best in it, don't they?

 

Perry White shares your taste in suits.

The Picture Progress just may well be able to DRIVE the shortbus, congrats on a swell pick up!!!!

 

 

Glad to see so much action here, hooray for the SB!!!

[Jeffro.]

This one qualify for the short bus?

 

[Cimm]

you just keep drivin', young fella... me'n Fritzi gonna be in the back snooglin'!

[selegue]

Tough call.

No spandex, zombies or gore -- yes.

GGA -- no.

Sizable Bushmiller Nancy fan base -- no. (This is Bushmiller, right?)

Respectable condition -- no.

 

I'm afraid it might have to ride in the long bus with the jocks and geeks. Cool book, really!

I can't post a bunch of books and neglect the Short Bus!

 

I think Dell TV adaptation books qualify, right?

 

I Love Lucy 25, Dell, Oct-Dec 1959 (OK, not real Golden Age, but this is THE Short Bus thread).

 

Nice Lucy & Desi photo cover.

 

 

Take a look at the strange caricatures inside! On some pages, Lucy has almost a Little Orphan Anie look. Jerry's Who's Who suggests that it's probably by Hy Rosen. Notice the odd squiggle "fill" coloring.

 

 

Typical Lucy hi-jinks. I don't know whether the stories are adapted from TV episodes or written for the comic book.
