Well, Of All The Wacky Races!

It's Sunday?
When did that happen?
(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)...

It's purely my own speculation, but i suspect that strips done in this looser style may have been the result of some of those infamous late night heroin binges...

(As we can see (or hear) from that second panel, cartoons influenced more than Ellis's visual style(s))

Let's wrap with another EC superhero strip. We've seen multiple Cosmo Cat stories, and Super Dog from Ellis. Here's his 'cousin', Superfox -

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)

So THAT's Where Rainbows Come From!

Urk.
Somehow slept for about 15 hours. Brain & body not reconnecting after time apart. So here's a couple Ellis Chambers quickies for a Sunday Morning Funnies post -

Of course, with Ellis Chambers, that could have ended much more darkly. In fact, one might even ponder if perhaps the story could have been a reaction to an editor asking him to lighten up a bit on the fate of the bad guys. But that's nothing more than a touch of random speculation triggered by the way he teased with the "You don't mean - murder!" bit. And, y'know - the number of times his stories have ended in death.
(Hooray! I wrote that bit yesterday, so we gots some words in there.)
