Sorry, Readers! I’m working on a very large post, but it requires approval from a dear friend, and I want to give her time to respond. So here is the promised Marty Taras’s “Flip-Flap and the Crying Hyena” from CALLING ALL KIDS #7, Feb. 1947 issue. This comic came out a year BEFORE the Famous Studios cartoon “Flip-Flap” was released (Feb. 13, 1948). I. Sparber was the credited director, but I’ll bet that Marty was a key artist on it, both story and animation. This story has nothing to do with the cartoon, but tells about an incident in Flip-Flap’s life AFTER he goes to the zoo. The cartoon story dealt with the seal’s origins in the North Pole. Part two coming very soon.<\/p>\n

In comic strips this week, MARVELOUS MIKE’s (4\/1\/1957-4\/6) got a sure stock tip on a trucking company, in which Cliff Crump promptly involves Mr. Kimball. I hear George O’Hanlon’s voice every time I read Cliff’s dialog.\u00c2\u00a0Mike’s stock tip\u00c2\u00a0may not be such a sure thing, we’ll see next time. Krazy Kat celebrates “music week” (8\/21\/1939 to 8\/26), but has to settle for canned music instead of live at the end of the sequence.\u00c2\u00a0 This is brief, but maybe next time I will have approval for my longer piece, it means a lot to me, so watch for it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
