Subject: RE: BS: The Best Cartoons From: aussiebloke Date: 05 Apr 02 - 10:16 PM Love the Peanuts strip. We grew up on them, lots of language among us as kids from that source: wishy-washy, cheesy grin, lotsa stuff. Ah, memories of a time when life was simpler... Thanks for a fun link. aussiebloke |

Subject: RE: BS: The Best Cartoons From: rangeroger Date: 05 Apr 02 - 11:25 PM About 15 years ago the San Diego Union started to rerun the original Al Capp "Lil Abner" strip from the '40s. It ran by itself on a classified page in the back of the paper. Only lasted a couple of weeks.Too many complaints about risque scantily-clad women and the gruesome situations.(Lena's wolves ripped men to shreds and ate them.) It really pissed me off when it was taken out. I looked forward to seeing it all. Oh well! So much for the Golden Age of comics. rr |

Subject: RE: BS: The Best Cartoons From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 05 Apr 02 - 11:53 PM Most of the POGO strips are available in book form. Much of Al Capp's Li'l Abner is in print in special editions, about $18 to $40, so expensive for a run of volumes. 1946 with Lena and the Wolf Gal is $19. These are very limited in production. Bud Plant Comic Art has them. His website is www.budplant.com. Ask for one of their big catalogues. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Best Cartoons From: DonMeixner Date: 06 Apr 02 - 12:08 AM Still a Prince Valiant fan. I dream of owning the art for a Hal Foster Sunday page. Or an Alex Raymond Flash Gordon Sunday. Now I recommend Xenozoic Tales by Mark Schultz. Search his name on EBay and look at the Hannah and the Sabertooth art. WOW!. Don |

Subject: RE: BS: The Best Cartoons From: mack/misophist Date: 06 Apr 02 - 06:19 PM The thing that always got me about Prince Valiant is that the artist had a degree in medieval history. Probably the only accurate fantasy ever. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Best Cartoons From: Dave the Gnome Date: 06 Apr 02 - 07:10 PM Just look up Bill Tidies 'The Cloggies' and you'll never argue which is the best cartoon again! Unless, of course you have seen Neil Gaiman. But that's a different kettle of sandmen...;-) Cheers DtG |

Subject: RE: BS: The Best Cartoons From: GUEST Date: 07 Apr 02 - 04:27 PM From my stoner days. ZAP comics were found in head-shops and alternative book stores. The first two issues of Zap were fairly innocuous compared to Zap #3, the special '69 issue ("because it was 1969," explains Moscoso). #3 began to rock the boat with its risqué content that lived up to its "Adults Only" advisory and was spiritually akin to Tiajuana bibles (the cheaply produced, sexually explicit eight page comics imported to the US from Mexico during the 1930s and 40s). This issue was sandwiched between two separate front covers designed by Wilson and Griffin respectively, and could be read front to back and back to front. The hinge was in the middle, a Moscoso designed turnaround centerspread which featured drawings of Daisy and Donald Duck engaged in comicbook hanky panky. |
