Follow-Up Follies

Just like the title says, today we're doing some follow-ups on previous posts. Maybe even grab at a dangling thread or two in passing. The first of which goes back to The Spider Widow from Frank Borth.

When we were looking at her, i said we'd come back to see when Spider Widow met Spider-Man. You might not have waited as long as some of those mentioned upcoming posts, but it's been more than plenty long enough...



Oh, come on! You knew it wasn't that Spider-Man since Pete didn't get bit for another couple decades. 

Let's jump to more recent posts now with the second Un-Comic featuring Captain Marvel And The Lieutenants Of Safety. As teased last time, in this one we face the dangers of Climbing!


Our second second is the next strip in the series featuring the original Hank And Lank, by Frank Thomas, in which the Sooper Sweeps decide to join the Army...


One more Hank And Lank, Sooper Sweeps strip remains.

Bonus Sorta Follow-Up:
Here's a strip that got squeezed out by time and circumstance when we looked at Champ Comics. The writer and artist are unknown -


Proof that a child could do a better job than what we have now?

(BTW - If you notice any tags missing from this post, it's because blogger limits the total number of characters to 200, but flat refuses to tell you how many you're currently using so it's nigh impossible to correct without just randomly throwing some out. I really wish they had somebody who uses the system doing the design work. Especially since they always ignore any feedback, questions, or suggestions.)

Safety Sunday! (or The Captain Was A Lieutenant (There Can Be Only One))

I do believe we're overdue for an Un-Comic; it's been a fair bit.

For the unfamiliar, Un-Comics is what we call comics that didn't appear in standard comic books. They may have appeared in magazines, books, industry publications, etc.,.

Today, we've got a major comics star doing some public service work - Captain Marvel and the Lieutenants Of Safety. (actually written by Otto Binder and drawn by C.C. Beck!) versus Demon Danger and the terrible hazards of Kite Flying -



Don't you feel safer now?

There were three of these public service comics published in 1950. Next times, the deadly dangers of Climbing and Darkness!

Be good, stay safe, and take your meds -
