Sqeggs Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The whole Missing Four Color thing is a fascinating piece of comic history. Not sure if we'll ever get a full explanation of why it occurred, other than some confusion at Dell near the end. I'll post a few of mine.

Scrooge Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Read 389 today. Andy Hardy is right in my wheelhouse. I love that kind of comedy (in comics or OTR) so I really enjoyed reading the issue. Love the pissed-off look on the swan on the back cover Even if the story follows this typical pattern: It starts with some wolfing - and ends with some ouching - but it's still pleasant from start to finish! damonwad, Sqeggs and Get Marwood & I 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. Must have been a permissions issue to make him so unlike Mickey Rooney. Probably had the rights to the name but not to Rooney's image.

Scrooge Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Read 390 today. I am still looking for a Woody Woodpecker comics that I enjoy I am easily satisfied in general but those Woody comics just leave me cold. The panel below with the buzzard is the highlight of the entire comic book … Random mentions of Pomona and Sheboygan in the text had a Jack Benny flavor but that's still slight. The story where Woody install his TV antenna and somehow captures the station's signal from 6 hours later in the day had potential but that's the only thing it had sadly.

adamstrange Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Aren't there some Woody's that involve adventures similar to the longer Duck tales or Bugs Bunny stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they exist, I have not sampled them. Honestly, when I see a Woody comics, I tend to skip it over so I might have overlooked one like that. I am also OK with low grade copies.

I have a vague memory of reading a couple as a kid involving Woody and his two nephews. One was definitely a Big Little Book when the briefly revived them in the 70s but there may have been a comic story or two as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
