As i noted last week when we started Draw-Along With Frank Borth, i was actually going to run another serial when i remembered that dangling bit and went back to it instead.
My sleep has still been savagely fractured - when i lay down, i'm back up within 30-90 minutes. Ugh. Much ugh.
But, since i'm up again for a bit, i decided to go ahead and start prepping pages and run the first two chapters today instead of waiting until tomorrow to begin Buttons' U.F.O.! -
Buttons' UFO was something of a successor to The Enchanted Flivver. But this time, we've got a Bathtub instead of an old auto. (Yes, there is an in-story explanation for it)
Another significant difference is that this time Frank Borth is handling both Story and Art as a solo production. The series ran in 8 chapters. Let's get started this afternoon with the first two, and we'll continue tomorrow -
Oops.
We'll see how that plays out when we continue on the morrow...

page art by Frank Borth from Treasure Chest Of Fun & Fact v24 #s 1 & 2 (1969)
That's beautiful art right from the first page with that great splash. That bottom panel on the last page of the second chapter is a stunner, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the continuing posts.
Isn't it a shame that most folks never got to see how pretty it was? There were a lot of great artists working on TCoF&F, but Borth was my favourite.
DeleteUm... You might have guessed that already.
But you should be looking sideways!
