Funny Fun Book

Thursday Game Day.

I managed to clean two more issues of a huge collection of the philadelphia Fun Book section from the late forties and early sixties.  They were edited by the later Channal Chuckles and Family Circus cartoon features. He often did the cover and had two comic strip pages. These later ones also included a whole week of colorized dailies from the western strip Hopalong Cassidy by Dan Spiegle. I still have couple. of issues to go. Since I have scanned them all, I may go and sell them on on ebay.

 

For The Fun Of It

 Monday Funday.

I was going to do a post about some interesting new stuff I found on The Internet Archive, but when I typed the title above, I remembered I still have two issues if the Philidelphia Inquirer Fun Book ready to be shared. Here is the first one. For more explanation click the link to see the others.

Hot To Trot

Sunday Serial Day. I have had this long run of Hopalong Cassidy dalies in my blogfolder. Magnificently drawn by newscomer Dan Spiegle, Hopalong Cassidy was one of the best 'famous cowboy' strips around. The main reason it seems forgotten is the fact that it was never reprinted. I have many scans, some from microfiche newspaper sources (like hese) and some from my own scans. But it is hard to show them unless I have a complete story (which I rarely have).
