Nearly a full decade before Krypto came along in Adventure Comics, we got Superdog in Zoo Funnies. For extra fun & oddness, the strip combined some old faves from around these parts - take one part from characters like
Koppy "Supersnipe" McFadd and
"Comics" McCormick, who essentially receive their 'powers' from comic books, and mix them with the semi-insane stylings of
Ellis Chambers for this short little 6 page oddity from 1946...
Do you think he was trying to get kids to bang their heads against trees?
Alas - there were no further adventures of Superdog, nor have i found any other references to "the Spirit Of Comic Book Super Animals". But, i'm looking...
(And, yes - further posts to follow. I'll talk about down time, but first get things up and running again)
