(Beyond the obvious "today")

Seems i skipped ahead again. So let's turn to our favorite Funnies maker for some Sunday Morning Funnies to help us get caught up. Of course, i mean Ellis Chambers. Here's a trio of his comic craziness, starting with one that turns things on their head (once again)...

That one was a popular story, published 3 times between 1947 & 1958 in Daffy Tunes and two editions of Holiday Comics. (We went with Daffy Tunes for the original colouring)
