Trump Reading Room LOOIE LAZYBONES "Package for Pappy!"

Let's look in on the adventures of Don (the Con) Trump's "deplorables"...

...and see what America might look like under their control...

Created in 1943, Looie Lazybones floated around the Nedor Comics line as a "filler" strip until settling down in Thrilling Comics as of #56 (1946).

Young up-and-comer Frank Frazetta took over the art in #67 (1948) bringing it amazingly-close in visual style to the strip's "inspiration", Al Capp's Li'l Abner, which had already become a media sensation, with a radio show, feature film and tons of merchandising!

So close, in fact, that Capp hired Frazetta to "ghost" Li'l Abner in 1954!
BTW, the writer of this variation of O Henry's "Gift of the Magi" from #69 (1948) is unknown.

Design of the Week EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!

Since Easter is coming, we thought we'd present an absolutely adorable piece from the 1940s by the legendary Walt (Pogo) Kelly featuring a puppy, kitten, and bunny with surprised looks on their faces as the egg they're painting hatches, producing yet another cute animal...a chick!

You just don't see stuff like this anymore!
So, why not order some kidswear or basket stuffers with this one-week-only graphic?
Everyone who sees it will go "Awwww."

Holiday Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Inside an Easter Egg"

Sometimes Walt (Pogo) Kelly did single page shorts...

...sometimes he combined several unrelated short pieces into a theme, like what a bunny sees inside an Easter Egg!

...as this never-reprinted piece from Dell's Four Color Comics: Easter with Mother Goose #103 (1946) demonstrates!

Reading Room OUT OF THIS WORLD "The World Awaits"

You know Steve Ditko as the co-creator of The Amazing Spider-Man...

...but he was equally-adept at visualizing insects as well as arachnids!

This lovely Ditko-rendered story from Charlton's Out of This World #12 (1959) would really have benefited from some Stan Lee-esque scripting rather than Joe Gill's stilted prose, which renders the ending rather...dull.
