I've mentioned previously how it seems like some of the old Funny Animal comics were created by spinning a wheel or drawing animal names out of a hat to pair them up. How else can one explain titles like The Dodo And The Frog?
For some Sunday Morning Funnies, let's pair that up with an old fave around these parts - Howie Post.
Howie spins the wheel and we get...
We got 3 issues of The Monkey And The Bear back in 1953-4 -
Let's take a look inside the covers, shall we...?
Of course, there were also a few supporting characters in back-up strips, like Funny Bunny...
...more monkeys in Jungle Fun...
...and a Coo-Coo Cat...
Yeah, i can dig on ol' Coo-Coo. I used to paint and draw in parks and public places every now and again. He just showed you why i stopped doing that years ago.
So, before we wrap for today, let's have another peek at Coo-Coo Cat...
Ah... the Classics.
