Point Five Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 The mention of Kooba seems like a strong hint, but I'm stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 The mention of Kooba seems like a strong hint, but I'm stumped. I thought that might point everyone in the right direction without being too obvious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 As far as I know, the only two appearances of Timothy Smith were in Big 3 #6 and Green Mask #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I guess this is the origin story from Green Mask 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I like the newsstand on the next page... and when "Timothy lands on a shoeshine tree." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Paper Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm ready for when the Timster becomes THE hot character! I hear Michael Cera's going to play him in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I like the horror stories by Everett. I picked up a beat up copy of this one on ebay. Sharing someones scan but not sure who. Finally got the color copy. The art looks pretty good with color too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Paper Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I had good response in this thread a few months back when I posted my Ewer Puck page. (It seems to be the place for all things old and eclectic.) The same source turned up another Puck original--this Leighton Budd piece from 1905. Budd seems to be significantly less well-known than Ewer. He briefly had his own strip in 1906 called Every Move a Picture, Yours Truly the Tumblebug Brothers, and was a director and animator for Bray Studios in the 1910s. He may have been an inventor later in life, at least there exist patents in that name. Anyhow, I thought this piece was very cool. There are the remnants of a tearsheet on the back that shows that it was printed in full color. I'm kinda wondering what's supposed to be in the pipe. This would have been well before marijuana was outlawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'm ready for when the Timster becomes THE hot character! I hear Michael Cera's going to play him in the movie. What a way to ruin a great character. It's casting decisions like this that will kill the market for comic book films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I noticed this splash page looked a little like the Swiss Family Robinson strip. I thought one was by Yarbrough and the other by George Storm. I am a little suprised by the similarity. Hangman by Storm was pretty weird looking compared to other strips that he did.

BB-Gun Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 And the Hangman example which looks like it has eyes by Cooper in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Incredible couple of pieces of art you've picked up. I love the two illustrations you've shared with us. Did the gallery where you purchased the two pieces share any details about the artwork's history? I wasn't familiar with Budd so I googled his name and found this recent piece written about him in Allan Holz's blog: Link The J.R. Bray interview that is referenced in the blog is fascinating reading. I can't wait to find out what you're going to turn up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
