...and a teaser for the next issue which took 3 + years to hit the stands and will be the last issue (2 issues really...more on that tomorrow) to be published...
Talk to you soon.
A daily almanac of events and people I admire and appreciate. All things, and the people who did things, that were WORTH DOING! Songs and Cartoons and near-insane ramblings by me, too.

Hi & Lois Holidays and a Ride on The Tonnerville Trolley! - Nemo 23 - pt. 2 of 2
The second half of "Nemo: the Classic Comics Library" #23 is as big a treat to read as part one. That kind of goes without saying really, as during the magazines entire run I never found a page I didn't go back and read at least twice like a starving man to a buffet anyway.
First up is a family album of holiday time spent with "Hi and Lois". Dik Browne's clean-clear cut yet textured cartooning is in full bloom here, every panel a true cartoony dream. Being as the article is centered on family/holiday time, there's plenty here to fit into the December Christmas marathon.
Drink it in Kiddoes!
Fontaine Fox was one of those true natural cartoonists. His hand seemed to inherently know just how to make a cartoon out of any object. His work covered much more than just a trolley and a guy with a fire hat though...Nemo shows us just how much more...

Enjoy!
We also get the bonus of another weeks worth of Mort Walker and Jery Dumas' comic strip insider strip, "Sam's Strip"...
...and a little feedback from the readers.
Next week I'll share with you the first half of "Nemo" #24 and an extensive look at the great Rube Goldberg!

Mid-Week Sunday Funnies - MORE Nemo 14
More catching up with last weeks backlog of "Nemo: the Classic Comics Library"...I'll wrap it up tomorrow and be all caught up!
This section I dedicate to my buddy Marco Torre. You know, the frequent commenter to this blog, the guy who saved me from certain suicide when he repaired my ailing external hard drive and who's sometimes featured here in cartoon form as "The Mysterious Shadowy Figure" and representative of a rogue faction of "The Illuminati" who tried to "whack" me until I was saved by Willie Nelson (wow...my blog is more complicated than it seems...but then it IS everything inside my head).
This issue featured, not really a sad eulogy, but a fond remembrance of the work of the then recently departed Virgil "VIP" Partch. Link here to Marco's website devoted to his father Peter and the restaurant he co-founded, the Newport Beach staple "Charlie's Chili" and read about VIP's link to that home-grown establishment.
Than read what Nemo had to say. :)
Then Nemo gets back to Allen Saunders serialized autobiography, "Playwright for Paper Actors" part 7...good reading!
And finally today, a couple more pages of "Sam's Strip", the insider-strip by Jerry Dumas and Mort Walker...
The wrap-up to come tomorrow kiddies with lots more good stuff!
