...With One ICK!

These days Don Rosa is renowned for his work with Disney & Barks' Ducks (Donald & Scrooge). And, as we've seen in recent posts, he was well known long before that in fan circles (and Louisville, Kentucky) as a comic artist. 

Don had another reputation back in the '70s - one that may have made him more highly regarded in some circles than did his story telling. From that, we got scores of cartoons and spot illos from him of a seemingly random nature. But, really - there is something tying all of these together...

(NOTE: There is no point to clicking on the images in this post. Since they are all single column width toons, they're prepped at 600 pixels wide and presented at full size)

(That's an E, not an F. It's not a Girl Friday costume)

(He does a pretty damn good Dick Briefer, eh?)

(Ask your grandparents)

Well, dang.
Even just that sampling sure took up a lot of post, huh?

We'll have to get back to the whats, whys, and wherefores next time.

toons by Don Rosa from RBCC #s 109-12...? um... i should have labeled these. (1974-1976)

The Captain

Well, frell. 

Just realized that instead of working on blog post i need to be heading to my regular session with the med techs to see about keeping the meat fresh. I tend to return rather depleted, so there may or may not be a 'real' post later today. Perhaps not until tomorrow.

So, we'll just have a quick teaser for now. 

Those who read the comments may have noticed that the Mindbender from Mars mentioned that Lance Pertwillaby later becomes a superhero - Captain Kentucky. 

Here's a pic to tease what's ahead...

Um, yeah. That photo is perhaps a bit more recent than the tales we'll see.

Behold - The TRUE Secret Of The Temple Of The Son Of The Sun!

Ready for the third and final part of the Pertwillaby Papers daily strips? (You already read parts one and two, right?) 

Let's dive straight in -

And so ended the Pertwillaby Papers.

Until it began again...
