Alex Meets Mary And Mother Goose
As we continue to follow along with Howie Post's Alex In Wonderland comics, we find there are problems with Mary and her Little Lamb, and then meet Mother Goose herself.
Let's jump straight to it, shall we?
Next time - Alex meets Ole King Cole and Macaw gets baked!

Back To Wonderland
A few days ago we saw the first Alex In Wonderland strip as we started our current look at some of Howie Post's early work. There have been plenty of different types of Wonderland comics and stories over the years. What set the Alex tales apart, aside from boasting the work of Howie Post, was the notion that things were... not right, shall we say?
The old nursery rhymes have gone askew, and Alex is determined to set them right.
In his first trip to Wonderland, Alex was miffed that Humpty Dumpty was entirely too whole and hearty. Y'know... Destiny is cruel.
Let's pick up where we left off, and see what happened in the second (and third) tale(s) -
We'll be back later with two more tales of Alex's adventures in Wonderland. Meanwhile, over in The 1940s Funny Animalphabet, we're looking at Howie's run on Presto Pete, The Magic Bunny.

Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 53
Yes, i know that there are only 52 weeks in a year, but that doesn't mean they're contained to 52 weeks on a calendar. Terribly inconvenient of them, but what can you do?
(Well, okay - we could post before the year expired, but the computer wasn't cooperating. Obviously it did finally boot up yesterday - i left it on overnight to avoid the problem this morning)
Our final painting from the great Gil Elvgren is Riding High from 1958 -
