How hard is it to change from a funnys tyle to a realistic one? Pretty hard, if you learned how to draw funny form on eof those correspondence courses in the thirties and don't have a solid training underneath. Art Huhta seems to have had no problem with it. After doing Dinky Dinketron for a couple of years, he switched gears and came up with the much more realitsic adventures of a country girl in Wild Rose. I have shown a couple of color Sundays earlier, but here are some more - showing he went on into the fifties with this.

Country File
Thursday Story Strip Day.
Last March I shared a scan I had of Art Huhta's detective parody Dinky Dinkeron. Coincidentally Paul Tumey had more about this forties rarity on his screwball comics blog (http://www.screwballcomics.blogspot.nl/). He mentioned the fact that Huhta also did a serieus strip for a while in the later half of the forties. Soon after, I came across these and couldn't help but scan them in. It's like a serieus version of Li'l Abner in a Chicago school style, which at the tme of this strip was already oldfashioned (eclipsed by the much more suited to comic chiascuro style of Noel Sickles and Milt Caniff).
As a bonus for you and for Paul I have added a couple more Dinkertons I came across.
