...by Walt (Pogo) Kelly from Dell's Four Color Comics: Santa Claus Funnies #91 (1945).
Simple.
Effective.
Cute.

Space Force Saturdays SPEED CARTER "BirdMen of Uranus"
The 1950s, when heroic astronauts fought for Truth, Justice, and the American Way...
..against the Uranians, who apparently are the space-age counterparts of the Chinese Communists, as least until the end of this lead story from Speed Carter: SpaceMan #2 (1953)!
While physics isn't my strong point, they must still be in the atmosphere, not the vacuum of space, or Kondor's wings wouldn't work!

Friday Fun / Holiday Reading Room: RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER "Rudolph's Swelled Head" Part 1
Despite his immense popularity in the '40s, Rudolph didn't appear in a comic until 1950...
...when he finally received the first in a series of annual comic books from DC Comics!
To be continued...
Next Friday!
Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Rube Grossman, this 1950 annual was the first of a series that ran until 1963.
The concept was revived in the tabloid-sized "Treasury" (10" x 14") format in 1972 and was published annually (except in '75 and '77) until 1978.
(Both DC and Marvel experimented in the 1970s with the over-sized format.
They were much bigger than normal comics with cardstock covers, though the interior pages were printed on the usual comic book paper stock.)
The series was a more-or-less sequel to the original story (which we presented HERE.) and song.
(The animated TV special that tells a totally-different version of the tale didn't appear until 1964.)
One thing you'll note is the unique idea of including activity pages as part of the story, giving us perfect chapter enders and openers in our serial presentation format.

They're NOT a Luxury in the Pandemic Age, But a NECESSITY...Christmas Cards!
With most of us, sadly, not doing our usual big Thanksgiving or Christmas get-togethers due to Covid-19...
...how do we communicate our holiday wishes to friends and family in this high-tech, impersonal age?
Why, Christmas Cards, of course...and not the e-mail type!
Remember how, after Thanksgiving, you'd look forward to getting those envelopes with colorful Yuletide cards (usually with lots of handwritten news and in-jokes from the sender!)
Remember the warmth with loved ones you'd feel from those?
Remember how you'd create displays on the mantlepiece or stairs with the koolest of those cards?
Well, more than ever, it's time to bring back that warm-and-fuzzy feeling!
And we have just the cards to do it...
Plus, if you want some really wild variations...
All are exclusive designs not available anywhere else!
All are available as singles for $4.99, 10-packs for $19.99 ($1.99 per card), and 20-packs for $29.99 ($1.49 per card).
Talk about a Christmas miracle!
Talk about a Christmas miracle!
Order now, so you'll be able to send them out around (or just after) Thanksgiving!
