Friday Fun FUNNY TUNES "Space Mouse in 'Mister Fix-It' " and "Peter Rabbit in 'Parking Space!' "
Let's get back to non-disease-oriented humor...
...with a decidedly Earth-bound Space Mouse one-pager...
...and an oddly space-bound Peter Rabbit short!
I'd say somebody gave the artist for these pieces from Avon's Funny Tunes #1 (1953) the wrong scripts...except the writer and artist are the same person...Frank Carin!

Reading Room: SPACE ACTION "War Fleet of the Traitor EarthMen"
If you think you can't trust politicians now...
...let's look at the future (as seen from the 1950s), when they'll betray the whole planet!
Penciled by Lou Cameron and inked by Rocco Mastroserio, this tale from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952), was typical of pulp and comic sci-fi of the era.
The writer is, mercifully, unknown.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Enter Hunt Bowman!"
Before KillRaven!
Before Kamandi!
There was...Hunt Bowman...
...the first post-apocalyptic series hero in comics!
This tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #21 (1942) written by "Thorncliffe Herrick" (a Fiction House pen-name) and illustrated by Rudy Palais pretty efficiently introduces the main characters and concepts behind the series, which lasted from this issue to #70 in 1953!
The strip evolves over its' run, so be prepared for some surprises to go along with the cliches!
BTW, we mentioned KillRaven in our opening.
Roy Thomas' initial concept for Marvel's 1970s War of the Worlds sequel (which evolved into KillRaven) was inspired by this strip along with H G Wells' novel and Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter and Carson of Venus series!
Note: We left off our re-presentation of Harsh Realm in March when the CoronaVirus pandemic hit critical level.
We're returning to that series next week, presenting a complete issue in three parts, then running a Lost World story as a "palate cleanser" between issues!
