My brain is foggy, and i'm too knackered to go look, but it seems like it's been a fair bit since we had a nice, simple,
Sunday Morning Funnies. Regular readers
(and irregular readers perusing these pages on a persistent basis) know i've been holed up in my cave mentally of late. I feel like getting out and stretching, so let's get our funnies today from abroad - we'll ease in with a strip from England, then head on over to Poland, and down to India.
But - Fear Not! Comics pulled from non-English books are wordless, and one is even kind enough to have an English language title. Probably not just to make it easy for me, but that's what we'll be pretending here.
We begin in
England with the first comic from the first issue of
The Beano, published 80 years ago in 1938 and the artist seems lost to time, at least on this side of the Atlantic -
From
Poland, we have bits by
Marek Raczkowski from
Komiks 97...
...and
January Misiak from
Komiks 99 -
And, from
India, a few comics from the back of
Bruce Lee's Escapade In Kalahari courtesy of
Shehab and
Prakash -
We'll be back at midday with a couple short comic adventures for a 1958 Super Matinee.
You have no idea how hard i'm working to resist the soon-to-be-obvious pun.
The Beano #1, Komiks 97, Komiks 99, and Indrahal Comics v.21#31 (1938, 1997, 1998, 1984)
