I'll scan it when I'm home for the summer. Looking forward to more Lantz Stanley stuff. I wish they'd reprint it.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157513690234917810.post-61169370084107937522009-04-29T08:50:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:50:00.000-07:00You're welcome--and no worries! When it comes down...You're welcome--and no worries! When it comes down to it, I'm a historian, not a collector. It's better to get this material back into circulation than to hoard it.<br /><br />I haven't seen those non-Woody, pre-Culhane Lantz cartoons since, gulp, before you were born! And, I don't think that Alex Lovy cartoon was part of the syndication package wherein I viewed the Lantz product, circa 1981/2. MEATLESS THURSDAY wasn't in the package--nor were most of the war-themed cartoons.<br /><br />Somewhere back in the cobwebbed filing system of my brain is the image of that Alex Lovy-directed rooster.<br /><br />Re Charlie's growth: it's the intermediary stage that I'd forgotten about. I used to have a crappy, crooked scan of the first Stanley AP story, but it bit the dust along with the no-good computer that died, some time back...<br /><br />It seems more "normal" for a character to be an infant in appearance #1, and then full-grown in appearance #2. Having Charlie's growth take up three issues is a rather sophisticated touch.<br /><br />You'll be pleased to know that upcoming posts will include material from NEW FUNNIES #82, 86 and 90. This will include Stanley's first proper Woody Woodpecker story, and a Li'l Eight Ball story featuring addled archaeologists (a Stanley favorite)!<br /><br />Glad I could provide a laugh-out-loud moment for you!Frank M.

Now that's service!
I'm surprised you of ...Thanks! Now that's service!<br /><br />I'm surprised you of all people wouldn't have noticed the growth! Oh well, weirder things happen. There's a Charlie-esque rooster in ANDY PANDA'S VICTORY GARDEN by Alex Lovy which uses the same design in Culhane's cartoon. It's nowhere near as good of course.<br /><br />Very funny story, I laughed out loud at the guess who bit.<br /><br />Sorry that you had to degrade your comic like that just for me. It's happened with me more than a few times. But I agree, screw the market value prices. The junkier the better for me.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.com
