The Games We Play

Saturday Leftover Day. Because of the surprisingly positive response to my running Matt Curzon's game feature Pixie Adventures a couple of weeks ago, I went and scanned some more. Although I don't think it is a winner artwise, the games are pretty clever (and varied).

Saturday Leftover Day.

I love the various game features that ran in the Sunday Newspapers. I remember how I read some of them when I was a kid (translated into tabloid format in one of my Dutch comics magazines). Some are better than other sof course. Here are a couple of one of the less attractive ones. Pixie Puzzle Adventures tried to combine the puzzles with an ongoing story. I made the art sort of the ame every week. If you want to see other samples, please followe the links. Pixie Puzzle Adventures was in quite a few papers, inlcuding the New York Herald Tribune. I will be selling a lot of stuff from that paper on Ebay in a couple of days. It will include many more samples of this feature than I scanned.

 Wednesday Oddbal Day.

A friend of mine makes cartoon puzzle for kids. For him (and for anyone out there who remembers doing them), here is a whole load of Pixie Puzzles by Matt Curzon. There were many of these type of features, not always the best drawn. But Curzon was consistantly good for a lot of years. If you like this short of thing, have alook at my selection of Comic Weekly Club Corner Sundays, a similar feature that used old newspaper strip characters.
