Covers drawn by Mike Lacey the cover king of Fleetway comics...drawing the covers for Whizzer and Chips -Sid's Snake Wow! had Shipwreack School, Whoopee!! had on the cover Bumpkin Billionaires and Scared Stiff Sam and Krazy comic.

The contrast between an elephant Shake and the ghose Shiver is wonderful.

Worth the Post?

It's not usual to hear the same tune being played in an MGM cartoon and in a Warner effort so I thought it would have been fun to devote a post about it.
Here's a scene you all know, from "Fast and Furry-Ous" (1949)[this same tune is used in a great number of Coyotes/Road Runner shorts though]

Caricato da Andrea_Dodgers

and here two clips from "Barney Bear's Polar Pest" (1944)

Divine Mercy Sunday & Opening Day

Since it won't happen again for probably a long time, and since the Washington Nationals open up on Sunday Night, maybe they should ask for a little help...

I-Spy by Brian Walker Sparky 1972 onwards

Brian Walker is a favourite artist of mine (I've done a website about him). Loved his Scream Inn in Whoopee and Shiver and Shake and Mike's Bike in Buster and Jackpot.

http://uk.geocities.com/pjgbrianwalker/

On the website I didn't include I-Spy has his style is close to Les Barton and didn't realise he drew this! So heres Brian Walkers I-Spy.
Another strip I missed can be found here on the blog

Thanks to ISPYSHHHGUY (what a domain name)for so much information...
I'm learning new things in comics daily.

Brians work is wonderfully detailed and a super penmanship. Lots of crosshatching. As a guess I can see Brian being an artist as well. Hes great at drawing the human figure.

What Does Cardinal Kasper have against Conversion?

I missed this news from December, but it falls into line with Kasper's crying over the Good Friday prayer. Sure glad I didn't meet with someone like him when I returned to the Church back in '98.

From the Remnant:
The “breakaway group” of Anglicans now seeking union with Rome is composed of 60 Anglican parishes and 60 Anglican bishops who can no longer tolerate the lunacy abounding in the “Anglican Communion,” including the ordination of women and homosexuals. All told this group of disaffected Anglicans is said to comprise some 400,000 souls. Confronted with the prospect of a mass return to Rome, Kasper told the Catholic Herald “It’s not our policy to bring that many Anglicans to Rome.”

Sparky adverts and Ma Kelly's Telly by Les Barton

I love this strip...I just love it when it break the forth wall in comics...more the better I say...a bit like a Tex Avery cartoon.

A lot of people say that a good writer can rescue a poor artist. I don't agree an artist can still ruin it. Comics are very visual and need to be very good. This strip is good in both ways. I would love to see this strip back in The Beano...Dandy...the numbskulls has got a bit tired...(little people inside a boys head) bring this back for a change!

Yet again why did Les Barton stop drawing for comics after only a few short years...retirement...ill health...new job...the company didn't like his style...something else??? Anyone know!?

Sparky I-Spy part 2

Nice that image of Mr X running past the window with I-Spy watching outside...also the dramatic The End panel...also very funny the fleas controlling the guns. Sparky was great in this period.


I-Spy sure had a lot of bite.

Lets hope Classics of the comics (reprints from The Beano, Dandy, Sparky etc..) will display a whole story over several issues one day of Les Bartons work. Brian Walker another top artist carried on drawing the character 1972 and onwards in Sparky. I'll show an example of that soon.

Sparky 1971 Feb issue 316-319 twice

Sparky comic in 1971 Feburary 6th -Feburary 27th issue had the numbers 316-319 -

March 6th to March 27th also was numbered 316 up to 319

issue 324 followed on April 3rd 1971

Sparky made a mistake in numbering the comics in 1971 ...So to help collectors here are the covers with the same numbers.

The cover star of Barney Bulldog is drawn by Bill Richie...famous for his Baby Crockett in The Beezer.
