Friday Fun PUZZLE-FUN COMICS "Alec in FumbleLand: You Can Bank on It"

A couple of weeks ago we presented Alec's premiere adventure...

...now we present his second (and, sadly, final) tale, this one a lesson in personal finance!
Their banking system and procedures are incredibly-weird...even for comics created for a kid/pre-teen audience!
That point aside, the never-reprinted tale from George W Dougherty Publishing's Puzzle-Fun Comics #2 (1946) by sadly-neglected writer/artist George Carlson is beautifully-done, playing cleverly on the concepts of Lewis Carroll's books.
Carlson, who created and produced the amazing Jingle Jangle Tales for Eastern Color, was a book and slick magazine cartoonist illustrator who did comic books "on the side".
His only comic book work was Jingle Jangle Comics, this title, and a few one-pagers for Eastern Comics!
99% of his comic book output has never been reprinted.
Once we can assemble it, we're going to do a blogathon of his astounding work!

Friday Fun PUZZLE-FUN COMICS "Alec in FumbleLand"

While this short-lived (two issue) title featured (what else) puzzles...
...it also featured this non-puzzle comedy comic strip, based loosely on Alice in Wonderland, in both issues!
Obvious question...who pays the King?
Isn't he the boss of the whole country?

Reading Room FUTURE WORLD COMICS "What in the Future World"

It's always fun to see what people of the past (1946) predicted for the future (our present)...
...what they got right, what they got wrong, and what they sorta got right!
Both the unknown writer and artist of this never-reprinted feature from the short-lived George W. Dougherty Publishing's Future World Comics #2 (1946) got about half the predictions right...like printed circuits and carbon monoxide detectors!
But they also came up with weirdies like plastic clotheslines and a fountain pen with ink pellets you just add water to for instant ink!
Ah, well...
