"Flap" Flipflop, The Flying Flash was your typical deranged Wolvertoonian dwelling in a delightfully bent reality. (Fly Paper!) As usual, Flap's comics are visits to a unique and instantly recognizable unreality. One in which i often feel strangely at home.
Flap first appeared in Kid Komics #1 in 1943...
Despite the final blurb, Flipflop never appeared in another issue of Kid Komics (nor Kid Movie Komics, as it rebranded itself ten issues later).
His next appearance wasn't until just over three years later, in Gay Comics #23...
He appeared twice more in Gay Comics, in issues #25 & 26. I've never seen those two stories. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's rather difficult to find Gay from the '40s.
Flap had two more appearances; the first came from Wartwit a year after the tale above, appearing in Jack In The Box Comics #13...
His final appearance was his longest story, ten pages appearing in Krazy Komics v2 #2. We'll see what Freezerbeezer had for us later this weekend.
