Let's get things rolling with a quick single page strip with Dorry Dripple, by Bulford Tune -
Oh, hey! Let's sneak in an old caveman comic, Rocky The Stone-Age Kid, with art by Frank Engli. Four pages isn't going to earn him a spot in the caveman comics feature, but he can still rock the funnies here -
Ferdinand Johnson, of Moon Mullins fame, not to mention Texas Slim (whom we'll be mentioning soon anyway), brings us a short strip starring Little Mexico -
Another "South Of The Border" tale comes to us from the mysterious Macphail, a story of Inca Dinca -
Before Richie Rich, there was Teddy Rich, with art by Ted Miller (and son?).
Say... What was Richie Rich's father's name? (Actually, it was probably Richard and there's likely some numbers in there somewhere. (Thus spaketh III))
For our final tale today, an 8-pager with both words and art from Macphail. This story of George And The Dragon, along with the Inca Dinca strip above, are the only two stories recorded in the Grand Comics Database by Macphail. So far as i know, this comprises the totality of his (her?) comic book work -
I find Macphail's style to be entertaining and wonder if there isn't more hiding out there, waiting to be discovered...
