Saturday Solutionizing

Running a bit late, so here's the answers right quick:

Seriously? "The Apes"? He may have dwelt among "The Apes," but he was raised by Kala. (Bonus points to TC for noting the specific tribe as well)

While Sheena was most notably labelled "Queen Of The Jungle", was she the only one?
The Phantom's "Bad" ring left only a Skull mark - no crossbones. (There was also a "Good" ring to mark those under his protection with 4 'P' swords making a cross)

Kudos to TC for his soutions. While not quite complete, those he answered were all correct, sometimes more correct than the quiz's "official answers"

FF&G - Return To The Great Game

Ah... missing those days when i was working and the home studio had several networked machines on the render farm. There was never a time without primary system - not like today. It's likely to be a couple weeks yet before access to data is restored and machines are back to fully functional. However, while most of the puzzle/quiz/game archives are out of reach, i did find an old friend of Friday Fun & Games to help us out today.

Let's return to The Great Comics Game for another batch of quiz pages. This set includes some characters and comics that were in the To-Blog pile - from Jungle Comics to Smitty, The ... Office Boy - so we'll be seeing some again after access is restored.

Saturday the 14th Solutions

Dig, you curious cats. Here're the answers you seek!

Meanwhile, back on #46...
Readers of the comments may have noticed that the Martian Mindbender (arguably the greatest encyclopedic mind on comics in the midwest) declared the answer to be "Esmeralda".
Our quizmasters, John Stanley & Mal Whyte, proclaim the answer to be "Desi"
Let's check with Legal for our definitive answer:

I'm calling it as Desdemona. Never argue with money bearing lawyers.

BTW - Did you know that George Herriman was an assistant on early Mutt & Jeff, home of Cicero's Cat? So if you see any similarities to Krazy Kat in design, now you know why.
Of course, Herriman took things to his own glorious heights, far removed these beginnings. But the echoes are there.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to check out more of Cicero's Cat from Al Smith (despite the Bud Fisher credit, Smith worked for decades under Fisher's name) visit John Glen Taylor's Easily Mused post featuring 25 old Cicero's Cat toppers.

Friday Fun & Games 010 - 60s Style

As you may well know, i only vote for Friday Night Fights, so instead around these parts we do

This week's FF&G is excerpted from an odd little book from 1966:

This was indeed an odd collection of trivia questions, ranging from the ridiculously easy to the WTF?
For example, the first question in the book is "What was Superman able to do to tall buildings?"
Others have become quite arcane over the ages - "What was the maiden name of Dick Tracy's wife?"
How many of you knew Dick Tracy had a wife? What was going on with Breathless Mahoney then? (still her best album)
We'll be coming back to play with this book again, so cheaters go find your copies now. For today, here's a few pages from early in the book for you to puzzle over:

As almost always, tune in tomorrow for the answers!
