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.

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!
"Nemo: the Classic Comics Library" #3 from October 1983.
The contents that are bursting the seams of this one...
Editorial by Richard Marschall sharing his love of comics art and storytelling...
The genius of Elzie Crisler Segar. One of my top 5 heroes in the realm of the comic strip. Incredible cartoonist, master of characterization...true pinnacle of the medium.
