I was just kind of scrolling down looking at the various pages, when I stopped on this one, thinking "ooh, that's kinda cool." Then I saw the signature. It's amazing how his work just always seems to stand out from his peers, even on the funny animal stuff. He seems to have gotten a lot of work just doing logo headers like this.

BangZoom Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 With a feature like "The Kuddly Kubs" how could Coo Coo Comics not have been a huge hit? I agree. Especially since they had such an all-star lineup. Don't forget Buster Bruin, Simply Spooks, and Sniffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Great scans, Scrooge. I actually find this sort of material more appealing than a lot of the super-hero stuff that was being churned out back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since they had such an all-star lineup. Don't forget Buster Bruin, Simply Spooks, and Sniffy. I am sure this has been discussed before, but why did funny animal creators come the conclusion the alliteration was the best way to name their characters? Obviously that statement could apply to comic characters as a whole (Clark Kent, Peter Parker). But it seemed especially prevalent in when naming animals (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Peter 'Potamus). Whose idea was it? And why did so many decide to copy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Piper Peter Pan Rose Red Beatrix Potter: The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (1904) The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes (1911) Then once the custom was carried over into cartoons (Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, etc.) and comic books (Clark Kent, Lois Lane), most everyone (especially Stan Lee) followed suit.

BB-Gun Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) Another golden age quiz. What comic is this little corner from? There may be two correct answers for this quiz. bb Is this one too hard or just not interesting? bb Edited December 2, 2007 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Nedor had a lot of strange funny animal characters. Fox had some too. We can't forget Cosmo Cat. Or maybe we did already. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 You stumped me with that one, BB. I wonder if Paratrooper could've guessed it? I noticed that one of the copyright notices on the cover states that the contents are copyrighted by Centaur Publications. What's in that issue? Incidentally, congratulations on owning such a neat comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 BZ, The Double Comics issue that I have contains Amazing Adventures #2 (the Sand Hog issue) and an Amazing Mystery Funnies around issue #19-23 or vol 2 #12?. I guess the second half of the quiz would be to find what was in this copy. Contents varies from one copy to another. Usually Centaur issues are inside but I have heard that a lot of different things can be included. There is nice Wolverton story in the AMF. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Remember the Norge Benson story, illustrated by Al Walker, that Scrooge posted a few months ago? Norge Benson Well, here's another story by the great Al Walker. .... That was fun! Were all Movie Comics done in that film-strip style? (Sort of annoying, isn't it?) What year was this story published? Obviously a Katherine Hepburn parody (Realhhy...), who was a leading choice to play "Scarlett O'Hara" in Gone with the Wind (1939). Is the director George Cukor (closely associated with Hepburn, original (?) director of GWTW? Could the collie be Gary Cooper?
