Getting Snoody Again

As you may expect, we've got the second half of the run of The Fumble Family and Uncle Amos featuring Amos Q. Snood of Tom Mix's Straight Shooters radio company. As with Jane, the War came to the TM Bar Ranch and the last 3 tales come from Tom Mix Commandos instead of Tom Mix Comics, with Snood becoming a Neighborhood Warden.

Here're the remaining six from Stan Schendel and Charles Biro -

...and that's how we won the war.
(Kids, don't put that on your tests!)

Return To The Dream Castle

Let's dive right in to the second half of Jane At Dream Castle from Stan Schendel and August Froehlich. Note that the last stories come from Tom Mix Commandos instead of Tom Mix Comics. The War came to the TM Bar Ranch, and even seeped into dreams...

Alas - letters or no, Jane never got back to sleep in the comic pages.

Three Minute Matinee

I'm still having trouble surfacing from the depths of The Third Colony. While i'm enjoying the progress there, that's not very entertaining for you. And not getting to sleep until the sun interrupts the work doesn't help get posts up early in the day, that's a certain. So, rather than ramble today, let's just sit back and enjoy a triple-feature from my favourite acting troupe of the 1940s - Ed Wheelan's Minute Movies players.

Okay, maybe no rambles, but one quick comment. The opening panel on this first one makes me think that some of the European comic artists i encountered back in the '70s and '80s were fans, too...

I don't know about every month in Flash Comics, but we'll surely see some more here eventually.

But, now i'm off to work on Big Sys...
