Friday Fun BABE "Dora Dumm"

Yes, It's "Politically-Incorrect"...

...but this never-reprinted short is not as bad as you might think!

This sole appearance of Dora Dumm appeared in tbe back of the premiere issue of Boody Rogers' female version of Li'l Abner, Prize Comics' Babe #1 (1948).

Friday Fun DUNC AND LOO "Loo in 'Hot Potato' "

Remember When Not All "Teen Humor" Comics Looked Like Archie?

This never-reprinted story from Dell's Dunc and Loo #8 (1963), featuring title slacker Loo is a kool example!

Scallions, also called "green onions" or "spring onions", are immature, not fully-grown onions!
Usually, they're used as a minor flavor element in cooked dishes and salads.
I've never heard of a "scallion sandwich"!
Trivia: The book was originally-titled Around the Block with Dunc and Loo, but was shortened to just Dunc and Loo as of #4.
(Apparently suburban and rural readers used "corner" or "street" instead of "block" when referring to addresses, so the original title confused them!)

Written by John Stanley and illustrated by Bill Williams (the series' co-creators).

It was one of three "teen humor" series created for Dell by Stanley, including Kookie and Thirteen (Going on Eighteen) for Dell.

Space Hero Saturdays SPACE MOUSE "Atomic Attack!"

Before the Space Mouse We've Already Re-Presented HERE and HERE...

...there was an earlier one whose adventures ran for several years!

And this is as close as you'll get to an origin for him featuring the introduction of equipment and plot elements that'll pop up over time in the series!

Oddly, this Frank Cairn-written and illustrated story was neither the lead nor the cover-featured tale in Avon's Space Mouse #1 (1953)!

Go figure!

Easter Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Mother Hubbard's Cupboard"

It's March!

Spring is, well, springing, and Easter is only a couple of weeks away!

So, here's a holiday goodie by Walt (Pogo) Kelly!

This never-reprinted feature from Dell's Four Color Comics #220: Easter with Mother Goose (1949) was typical of Kelly's holiday offerings.

He would either retell a fairy tale or nursery rhyme with added holiday elements, or craft a new tale based on the characters!

Friday Holiday Fun TICK TOCK TALES "Judy and Her Magic Chalk in the Land of the Easter Bunnies"

Though no other American comic publishers besides Dell ran Easter-themed anthologies...

...many ongoing series did run Easter stories, including this strip appearing in Magazine Enterprises' kids' humor anthology Tick Tock Tales!

Illustrated (and possibly written) by animator Larry Silverman who freelanced for packager Jason Comic Art Studio, this never-reprinted story from Magazine Enterprises' Tick Tock Tales #4 (1947) was only the second entry in the "Magic Chalk" strip, which ran for almost thirty issues!
Judy would also appear on covers and in two-page text stories teamed with other characters from the anthology like Goofus the Gopher and Spanky, but, oddly, never in an actual comic story with them!
