BangZoom Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks for the scan, BB. Other than the thumbnail sized reproductions in the preview to the new Norman Saunders' book, I've never seen any of Saunders' Modern Mechanix covers.

BangZoom Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 BZ There was a network of crazy people like myself across the country taping any and all cartoon shorts. We would trade them like baseball cards. It was fun back in the day but now I would much rather purchase them off Amazon and have them delivered to my door!! It is definitely easier buying them off Amazon. Here are a few that are on my current Amazon Wish List: The Cartoons That Time Forgot - The Ub Iwerks Collection, Vol. 1 Cartoons That Time Forgot - The Ub Iwerks Collection, Vol. 2 Betty Boop - The Vintage Cartoon Collection (Remastered Edition) 2-DVD Set Max Fleischer's Color Classics: Somewhere in Dreamland Tom and Jerry - Spotlight Collection Tex Avery's Droopy - The Complete Theatrical Collection Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938, Vol. 1 Popeye the Sailor, Vol. 2: 1938-1940 Popeye the Sailor: 1941-1943, Vol. 3 The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Have you Golden Age readers ever had this problem? (from Howdy Doody 38 -- not my scan) Jack, distracted This is another reference to comic books in a comic. The smart guy gets picked because they think he is dumb since he reads comics Isn't Ozzie trying to make it to first base on the cover? Perhaps I missed the point but Ozzie seems to have it covered. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerKid Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I had to backtrack to the PB conversation, yesterday's mail brought one of my favorite Ed Bergey covers: Great looking copy you found. Do Helen's parents know she's going out in public dressed like that? I'd launch 1,000 ships for a shot at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the thumbnail sized reproductions in the preview to the new Norman Saunders' book, I've never seen any of Saunders' Modern Mechanix covers. Link My favorite Saunders story Involves him applying for a job doing plp covers. The editor asks him if he paints with gouache, since that is what they use, He says, Yes of course! He gets the job, then runs home to look up what gouache is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Ah, the joy of creation and cutting up your comics to make a new toy. That beaver dam looked pretty good Scrooge. I think I have that issue but didn't notice the figures on the back. This would be pretty useful if you had children in the cub scouts or girl scouts. I put the models on the shelf with my other toys. Someday I will buy another camera and take some pictures. There are a few more Fox creations that I haven't made yet. bb Edited January 15, 2009 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how even kids of this generation would still have fun with something as simple as that. Pretty cool actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 First you'll see the back cover of Four Color 625 - Beaver Valley and then my crafty handiwork - Nice work, Scrooge. Dell Comics. I went looking through a stack of Four Color Comics hunting for more cutouts, but didn't have any luck. However, I did find a few neat ads for cereals back at a time the cereal box could be a source of entertainment. Do cereals still offer these sort of treats?
