Happy Saturday and time for another dive into Unca Jeffy's Toy Box -
Here's some more of those nifty sirocco statuettes celebrating classic comic strip characters, sculpted by Craig Yoe Stodios, hand painted and numbered and distributed by Dark Horse Comics.
Here's Uncle Walt Wallet and orphaned Skeezix from Frank King's "Gasoline Alley"...
Chester Gould's iconic hard boiled detective, "Dick Tracy"...
Chic Young's "Blondie"...sigh...how'd Dagwood get so lucky?...
Lee Falk's "Mandrake the Magician", one of the forerunners of comic book super heroes (and as we'll see in the comig weeks and months in "A 'Slight' History of Golden Age Comic Book Super Heroes", direct inspiration for at least a score of said heroes)...
And Billy DeBeck's original little ne'er-do-well, "Barney Google"...
More of these to come. I really think they're 9 kinds of cool!
Talk to you soon.
Blondie ! Ahhh... I still dream about Penny Singelton.
