Hio Mankin!

Saturday Leftover Day

The Roy Rogers strip had many different artists. I never really looked at it until I saw the middle years, drawn by Hi Mankin. Mankin has a slightly caricatured style, similar to that of artist such as Norman Maurer, Carl Hubbell and Bill Elder. I recently came across a paper that has three dailies every Wednesday and Friday, making it a lot easier for me to clip and collect them. The files are quite big, though. So I had to do a trail to see how well they upload. To add to that, I have used all my various Roy Rogers clippings through amassed over the years. The good news is, that uploading was no problem and the soonest available spot I will start a longer storyline.

Hy Oh, Silver!

Saturday Leftover Day.

Earlier this week I showed some Roy Rogers strips by Hy Mankin. Although the name on the strip is AL McKimson I don't believe I have actually seen any of his work. In the mid fifties the strip was done by Hy Mankin in a remarably sharp style. Here is a longer run from 1955.
