Silent Cameo

Saturday Leftover Day.

I gone and cleaned up a whole month's worth of Alfred. Alfred was a regular cartoon in Collier's from 1942, by Foster Humphreville. In 1949 the cartoon series topped and on October 17 a daily strip version started in the Milwaukee Journal by Milwaukee artist Carl Ryman. I got most of my information from Alex Jay and Alan Holtz at the Stripper's Guide. They in turn referred to my posting of some of the cartoons here on this blog. Very little is known about these cartoonists or their character or why he looks so much like Alfred Hitchcock. The strip itself is similar to Nancy and Louie, with the main character who acts like he is a silent character in a talking world. Here is the third month.

The Butler Is Done

Sunday Robinson Review.

This is the last of the Alfred stories from DC's Batman I had not shown yet. I will have to think of something new now.

The Dark Baron

Sunday Robinson Review.

Today's Alfred short story comes from Batman #30. Again, my guess is that George Roussos did the inking, or at least secundairy inking (shadows and stuff like that).

Low Violence Area

Sunday Robinson Resevoir.

A new year and we are back to our normal schedule. That means a new Alfred story by Jerry Robinson every Sunday. I love character and even in a DC book (where plot was everything) these are chuckfull of character. This one is from Batman comics #29.
