Gene Ahern - Nemo Annual #1 - part 6 and final!

Here it is, the 6th and final chapter of "Nemo: the Classic Comics Library"'s look at the great screwball comics in their Annual #1 (and only) from 1985.

Bill Holman, Milt Gross, Dr. Seuss...they've all been covered here and a fitting closing chapter is the one focusing on Gene Aherns awesomely screwball strips, "The Nut Brothers" and "The Squirrel Cage".

This is some fun stuff and it really feels like good Sunday reading.

Enjoy!

Talk to you soon.

Sunday Funnies - Nemo #13 - Hard Boiled Noir and Vaudeville Comedy!

"Nemo: the Classic Comics Library" issue 13 cover dated July 1985 brings us a cornucopia of great reprints. Chock full of the stuff I loved this magazine for, little known and unseen gems brougth to us by the shovel-full!

Here's just a hint...

Richard Marschall responding to feedback for their endeavors. Like the comment section of a blog, this reader mail had to play a big part in fueling the writers to continue in their work...

Here's a look at and a generous sampling of some hard core crime stuff, that in part makes Dick Tracy look like your Grandma's detective strip. Will Gould's "Red Barry"!

TAD. Thomas Aloysius Dorgan. The Damon Runyon of the comics? Maybe. The folk biographer of a rough and tumble side of life and the slanguage spoken by those who knew this world? Definitely!

Oh. And "Silk Hat Harry" too!

More of the "inside strip" humor of "Sam's Strip"...

The much talked about "Our Boarding House" for all to see. Armchair adventures with Major Hoople...and the Nut Bros. too!

Now THAT'S alot of comics crammed into your eye-holes! Nemo was hitting it's stride!

Here's what's coming up next Sunday...

Happy reading!!

Talk to you soon!
