Basil Wolverton's "Culture Corner"
As way of celebrating my awesome Basil Wolverton Zippo lighter acquisition yesterday (see previous post) I've dug into whatever Wolverton work I may have. At first glance there are these wonderful "Culture Corner" 1/2 pages he did for Fawcett Comics' "Whiz Comics" back in the late 1940's.
These are the one's I just happened to already have labeled. Stay plugged in to future blogs for more.
Enjoy!

Bitchin', Boss, Coolest Impulse Buy, Ever!!
Sorry dear readers for no regular blog post today. I got my tax refund this past week so I spent the morning doing what I haven't had the luxury of doing since the economy hit the fan, I paid some bills and went shopping for the necessities.
That all taken care of, I picked up (the ONLY impulse buy I allowed myself) maybe the coolest little trinket I'd set eyes on in a long while. An official Basil Wolverton Zippo lighter!
Don't be all jealous. And I promise to be the same humble guy I've always been.

Sade Sees Through Vic and Rush is the Scorn of His Friends
Friday, beautiful Friday, and that means another visit with the America's favorite home-folks in the little house half-way up on the next block, "Vic & Sade".
Our first shared episode is from March 29, 1940. In this show we have the slice of real life, wherein one partner has set plans and the other gets an opportunity for something that they would rather do. Sade has already promised for her and Vic to attend a party, and Vic gets a chance to run up to Chicago with some lodge cronies. Before he can plead his case though, Sade sees right through his duplicity and calls him on the carpet. I really enjoy Rush's part in this one, as he shifts from reading a book of strange facts from Darkest Africa, to being the son taking his mother's grocery list.
Enjoy!
Part two of our OTR Friday 1/2 hour is from April 4, 1940. Here we have all the angst of a young boy (Rush) coming of age and going to visit a member of the distaff sex, and all the horrors of his friend's microscopic eyes upon him. And, as it is with all such rites of manhood, his parents not understanding all the social pressures upon him. Rock solid and universal. Funny as all get out, too.
Enjoy!
Here's another little magazine article about our favorite family. The December 1936 issue of "The Delineator". As "Friend of This Blog" Chris pointed out last week about the article I posted, the show is billed as a "drama" in this article as well. More interestingly this week, I read the term "Strip Show" for these serials. Equating them to the daily newspaper strips I hold so dear to my head. Intersting reading and a peek into the past.
Whatever category folks choose to place this show, remember...Be Happy, Go Lucky!
