The computer savvy are too young, and the folks who knew John are mostly computer illiterate. I’ll just post some comics this time, starting with Barker Bill from 1-10 to 1-22-1955. The gags all feature the side-show freaks like the tall man, the fat lady and Phyllis Fezeek, the strong woman. Her little niece May figures in some of these. Peanuts Perkins, roustabout and all-around dumb guy is good for a few jokes as well.<\/p>\n

\"felix-5-27-35.jpg\"<\/a>\"felix-5-28-35.jpg\"<\/a>\"felix-5-29-35.jpg\"<\/a>\"felix-5-30-35.jpg\"<\/a>\"felix-5-31-35.jpg\"<\/a>\"felix-6-1-35.jpg\"<\/a>\"felic-6-2-35.jpg\"<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0I echo the elve’s comment in the last panel of the Felix Sunday page, “What would we do without Felix?” Here’s Felix from 5-27 to 6-2-1935. He’s still on the Ape’s island with Danny and the explorers from the ship. Mostly insect and strange animals populate the tropical paradise in this batch of strips. I love the pose in the last panel of the 6-1, as Felix happily dozes after subduing a horned beast with a brace of melons. I love the change of character\u00c2\u00a0in the “Laura” topper, as she becomes less of a pest, and more of a homeless parrot in need of love.<\/p>\n

There are also a couple of little two-day continuities featuring Offissa Pupp fishing for Ignatz with a fishing pole baited with brick, and Krazy and Pupp sailing down the river in a box.<\/p>\n

\"patrick-2-6-to-2-11-67.jpg\"<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Here’s Patrick, 2-6 to 2-11-1967. Patrick gets his repulsiveness from pills and sprays, and poor Suzy can’t bake her way into Patrick’s very hard heart with her concrete cookies in the 2-11. Well, I’m gonna keep my head down and keep puttin’ up\u00c2\u00a0these crazy strips til’ y’all beg for mercy! See you next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
