Sniping Maneely

As some may recall, i was recently surprised that we had yet to feature Joe Maneely on this blog. We'll fix that a little bit today, but being the blog we be, let's go in a different direction and feature something even his fans may likely not know he did.

As a bonus, this gives an excuse to revisit one of our faves here at The Voice Of ODD! 
Joe is one of the very few who drew a complete Supersnipe tale (aside from George Marcoux, of course). If you're not already familiar with "The Boy With The Most Comics In America" then feel free to peruse some previous Supersnipe posts before reading onward.

As you may know, Supersnipe stories tended to be triple the page count of the typical 8-pagers of the time, so we've got a full 25 pages of Joe, Koppy and Trouble
I'll get out of the way so we can all enjoy the tale -


Hmm...
Wound up not going with any of the topics i was contemplating last night. But, we did pick up one of those dangling threads, eh?
We'll come back to both Joe Maneely and Supersnipe in later days.

SMF It Ain't

I'm in the mood for some Sunday Morning Funnies, but it's only Saturday afternoon. What to do...?

Well, if it's not quite Sunday, we'll do some funnies that are "not quite" to fit right in, starting with a bit of Howie Post's doppelcomix of Al Capp's classic...


...and some 'Chester Gould' from Bill Elder...


...and to complete our typical trio, here's Joe Maneely's riff on Hank Ketchum's strip...


Like Stan said - "We have to end this somewhere..."
