The GA "Short Bus" Thread Post your unpopular books! 2 2

[Hepcat]

My very favorite short bus comic in my collection

 

 

 

I have very mixed feelings about that cover. I always loved the Captain and the Kids newspaper strip - but Fritzi Ritzi and Nancy just bored me. The combination of those characters together is just bizarre. And you know the Captain's battle axe of a wife is going to smoke him.

Two questions:

 

1. Why are some of the skin tones on the girls yellow?

 

2. Do you write your name on the covers of all the books you really like?

 

 

1. Might be a scanner issue. I'll have to check

 

2. Yes. My name is Lamont Larson, and I enjoy seeing it in print, even on my comics [/quo

Thanks Jack! That is very sweet of you to make such a magnanimous gester. But, I'm afraid I'll have to decline. Hard to part with a book with my name on it.

Whoops! I guess I'll have to.

Now I'm impressed. Did you ever ask the Borden company why Elsie didn't have absolutely enormous milkers though?

 

[ciorac]

You are nutty HC

[Hepcat]

Bow before your king! Bwahahaha!

 

 

I'm no longer impressed. I can recognize a Silver Age title when I see one.

I am fond of the Bouncer covers by Stoner, although I think you're missing one, and the Living Bible issues. LB covers are by LB Cole and the one on the right is hilarious. You have a priest, a rabbi and and a minister up front shaking hands and soldiers drowning in the surf behind them. What does that say? LBs work looked pretty good anyway.

It's the Vince Colletta background inks that make the cover, for sure.

That the four of them (who's the fourth?) should have only three parachutes?

Love the L.B.Cole cover on the Joseph - it's remarkable!

The good news for you is that, even if you have the crappy B&W reprints of the Barks Barney Bear, a new IN COLOR reprint was solicited in this month's previews (thumbs u

 

 

List price is $34.99, expected ship date: May 25th.

 

 

I just ordered one of these.

 

Some of these stories are excellent. (So good in fact that Barks used some of them again in WDC&S)

I think it's Rags Rabbit myself.

How about these two then?
