Sunday Funnies!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, the Sunday Funnies. That perfect 4-color respite to sate your mind in a black and white world.
Enjoy!
From January 10, 1954, Al Capp's (assisted by Frank Frazetta) "Li'l Abner" and all the men of Dogpatch fall prey to The Wrecker. Mammy is confoosed, but all the men understand...
From February 28, 1926, Paw tries to enjoy the night life, but the cat's out to get him. Beautiful art deco stylings by Cliff Sterrett in "Polly and her Pals"...
From July 28, 1935...another wistful moonlit night in Kokonino Kounty...Krazy pines away.
From February 3, 1935. The Dragon Lady and other pirates keep Pat and Terry as jumping in Milton Caniff's "Terry and the Pirates"...and an American ship will lie in the balance...
Feels good to lounge with out newsprint friends on a lazy morning.
Now GET OUT THERE AND MOW THAT LAWN!
Or don't...

Sunday Funnies!
Summer Sunday's...waiting for the "thunk!" of the Sunday paper hitting the screen door, running outdoors and unraveling the massive log of the news of the world! Unfolding the 4 color wrapper and tucking it under your arm as you deliver the boring ads, editorials and sports pages to the rest of the family and you race back to the front porch to splay the true treasures of the delivery out and plop onto your belly to get lost in it all!
A time before most of us remember...but all of us have fond feelings for. Re-live them NOW!
From January 3, 1954, Al Capp's world of Dogpatch continues to be plagued by the mysterious powers of "The Wrecker"! No one knows how her strange power over men works, but I think being drawn by Frank Frazetta has something to do with it!
February 21, 1926 Cliff Sterrett's art deco "Polly and Her Pals" finds Pa in a winter wonderland and a "topper" featuring "Damon and Pythias!
July 21, 1935, George Herriman's "Krazy Kat" get's Joe Stork in trouble...and if I'm not mistaken, that may be Herriman in the first panel instigating the whole thing!
January 27, 1935 and in Milton Caniff's "Terry and the Pirates", Terry Lee and Pat Ryan find themselves jumping from the frying pan into the fire as they're captured from the pirate junk by...you guessed it...pirates!

4 Pages of 4 Color Goodness - The Sunday Funnies!
The Sunday funny paper.
For a generation and more before my own, that heavy bundle of wood pulp landing on the front porch of the family homestead with a loud "KERTHUMP!" and wrapped in the 4 color printing of a circus poster, was a hgihlight of the week.
In major markets, 16 pages of jungle action, international intrigue, far-flung science fiction adventure, rough-and-tumble cowboy grit, humor, mobsters, G-Men, T-Men, goofy looking guys with big feet and bulbous noses and glorious gorgeous gals with big...um...with bulbous...well, you get the idea, was delivered right to the doorstep. It was to be splayed across the living room floor where the wide-eyed youngsters of a country and world on the verge of growing up would lie flat-bellied and let their minds wander through all the places he and his ilk would maybe one day go for real.
For some it would be an hours escape through some other writer and artists imagination that would later in the day and week help spur their own imaginations, as they ran through fields and vacant lots with their own make believe six-shooters, tommy-guns and ray-guns battling their own dastardly foes, drawn from the ids of their expanding minds.
For some it would be stared at, studied, and with notebook paper and pencil, would be copied for hour upon hour for the next full week (until the next installment), trying to find their own way to tell stories and draw funny looking horses and sleek space ships.
It was a magic time of less media influence on our lives, and therefor the media that did come through was actually produced by talented creative people who knew how to capture our hearts and imaginations. There was only a "Jersey Shore" in a geographical sense, and the "American Idols" which existed were there because of their accomplishments, not because the trailer park crowd loved to see an 18 year old spoiled brat cry on TV.
For the Sundays into the forseeable future, I hope to re-capture some of that feeling. The creative talents behind these classic strips are gone now, and only knobs with suits exist to hold the copyright on these features. In my "schoolyard justice" sensibilities, these idiots who hold the gates to the kingdom and who refuse to unlock them for those of us who want to admire the art are undeserving, so I share some of what I have collected over the years hoping you will feel some of the magic I felt discovering these things myself.
The sights and smells of "Dogpatch", "Coconino County", the South Pacific and SouthEast Asia of the 1940's and art deco drawing rooms of the 1920's are what I'll be sharing at first.
Dig In!
