Scrooge Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks for the tip Ryan. Is that the same Jerry Beck of (at least to me) Cartoon Brew fame? Probably. Cartoon Brew is one of my favorite blogs (even though I don't have as much time to check it out as I wish I had). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underthebigw Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Great story--thanks, BZ. I had always heard that Montana based Riverdale on his hometown of Haverhill, MA, but nothing drives it home like this page. All of stops shouted out by the conductor are real towns north of Haverhill, in NH, and many of them are still ski resorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of stops shouted out by the conductor are real towns north of Haverhill, in NH, and many of them are still ski resorts. I never knew that...I live in Mamaroneck (the home of Archie comics)...grew up in the Bronx, not far from Riverdale and Scarsdale's HS (the next town over from Mamaroneck ) looks very much like the HS that was in some of the books from the 60's...so ...we always thought it was about this area...but never having seen the very early books, I see that they were very different:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another piece of the cover. this is killing me, I should know this, I think I do, but I can't recall... Me too. Isn't there a non-duck on the cover that is mistaken for either a duckling or the ducklings father? Or am I thinking of another book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ok, then I am officially stumped. Glad to see an old-timer (sorry Bill) is also stumped despite his vast comic knowledge. I'm not giving up but I've already gone down the Easter / Christmas and other stories with Mother Goose path and it's none of those. Gotta keep thinking ...

I'm not giving up but I've already gone down the Easter / Christmas and other stories with Mother Goose path and it's none of those. We should have given each other high fives as we crossed paths! Gotta keep thinking ... Gotta stop thinking and start sleeping. Hopefully the experts will crack the case by morning. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking comics you posted. I have no memory of ever seeing those particular covers before, certainly not that size. They're wonderful.
