...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.

"Sam's Strip" - The Insider's Strip - Nemo #30 part 4 and final
"Nemo: the Classic Comics Library" #30 closes out with another sampling of that "insider's strip", a comic about comics, "Sam's Strip" by Mort Walker and Jerry Dumas.

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!

Nemo issue 20 - 2 of 2
Here's part 2 of Nemo: the Classic Comics Library #20...
Beginning with more comic strip promotions - back when syndicates cared about their features...some real gems here!
The regular feature "Fantasy in the Comics" this issue spotlights Gustave Verbeek's turn of the century strip, "Terror of the Tiny Tads"...and it's a winner. Once again, Nemo comes through.
More of the "insider-strip", Sam's strip by Jerry Dumas and Mort Walker. I love Dums' rendering of these classic characters.
...and the ubiquitous letter's page.
See y'all next week for issue 21! STILL plenty of comics goodness to go!
