I was planning an Ellis Chambers post for The 1940s Funny Animalphabet featuring his work in Buster Bunny. Then i noticed a slight technical problem. Though the title debuted in the late 1940s, the stories didn't appear until 1950-52.
Oops. I guess they'll have to wait a spell.
Holly didn't do a whole lot for the book - only eight stories ranging from one to eight pages. We ran his Tommy Turtle tale from Buster Bunny #3 previously. Here are the rest of his signed stories from Buster Bunny, with one exception. The only copy i've ever found of #13 was a scan, and that was destroyed by a clumsy attempt to 'restore' it. That Chester Cat tale will have to wait until either i find a paper copy or have the hours and patience to try to repair the damage. Today we've got Buster & Bill Bunny, Cuffy, Dizzy Duck and Goofy Gander.
Ellis' first and longest tale for Buster Bunny comics appeared in #4 -
On a side note, i don't know what the frell is wrong with the way Blogger is displaying the standard text for the post. It should be larger and easier to read. Maybe it is on your system. For reference, this text is "normal" sized. The credits note below is "smallest" size. This should display almost twice the size of the text below, but on my system they're pretty much the same size.
But maybe it's my settings...
