Getting Snoody Again

As you may expect, we've got the second half of the run of The Fumble Family and Uncle Amos featuring Amos Q. Snood of Tom Mix's Straight Shooters radio company. As with Jane, the War came to the TM Bar Ranch and the last 3 tales come from Tom Mix Commandos instead of Tom Mix Comics, with Snood becoming a Neighborhood Warden.

Here're the remaining six from Stan Schendel and Charles Biro -

...and that's how we won the war.
(Kids, don't put that on your tests!)

Fumbling With Snood

It's the weekend and i'm in the mood for some Funnies. So, let's jump back to Tom Mix and the Straight Shooters, and to the same pic we used while talking about Jane -

On the bottom left, we've got Amos Q. Snood. As one might guess from the name, (and the expression on his face) he provided a heapin' helpin' of comedy relief for the crew.

Like Jane, he received an ongoing strip in Tom Mix Comics (and later Tom Mix Commandos) - four pages every issue with The Fumble Family. And, as with Jane, we're going to go ahead and break it into two sets and run them all. As you might suspect with a family name like Fumble, it leans heavily into slapstick comedy. That sounds like the kind of funnies we could use this weekend.

As with Jane (again), the strip is written by Stan Schendel. Artwork comes from one of the old Golden Age greats - Charles Biro.

And now we're all set for some Sunday Morning Funnies with part two.

Return To The Dream Castle

Let's dive right in to the second half of Jane At Dream Castle from Stan Schendel and August Froehlich. Note that the last stories come from Tom Mix Commandos instead of Tom Mix Comics. The War came to the TM Bar Ranch, and even seeped into dreams...

Alas - letters or no, Jane never got back to sleep in the comic pages.
