I think there's a great satisfaction in the length of a typical comic book. When I've read the reprinted stuff with my son, his/our attention starts to fade after a couple of stories. If we were reading an actual comic, we'd have the satisfaction of actually finishing something.Trade Loefflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063262326474120857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157513690234917810.post-74030175160350112022010-01-10T22:23:18.640-08:002010-01-10T22:23:18.640-08:00I recall one glorious day, about 12 years ago, whe...I recall one glorious day, about 12 years ago, when I received a package in the mail containing about 15 Little Lulu comics I had ordered from a comic book dealer at a good discount. It was a huge splurge for me at the time. When I bought the comics, the sharp gal on the phone at the dealers mentioned they had several Tubbys they could throw in real cheap like. Sure, I said. So I got the first 10 issues of Tubby, which included all the Stanley drawn issues. I had no idea Stanley drew these at the time. I remember feeling rather disappointed in the Tubbys... it was my first exposure to them. I disliked the looseness of the art as compared to Irving Tripp's neat, precise line. Well, things change. Now, the Stanley issues of Tubby are my favorites of all of Stanley's work. If I were a Drawn and Quarterly editor, I'd definitely reprint these. I hope that, if they do, they make sure to give John Stanley credit as an ARTIST as well as a writer... something they neglected to in the Melvin Monster volume.Paul C.Tumeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398929835829679477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157513690234917810.post-51831667543075693822010-01-08T08:42:51.534-08:002010-01-08T08:42:51.534-08:00Your comments about the slick paper and garish col...Your comments about the slick paper and garish coloring of the reprints are exactly right. I also don't understand why they insist on such a small (6"x9") page size. The ideal reprints would be duplications of the originals. Until then, your blog is definitely the best place to view these old comics.Myrrpagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400849787972407391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157513690234917810.post-46343909802916736772010-01-08T01:34:40.672-08:002010-01-08T01:34:40.672-08:00I say that when you run out of Stanley stuff, we s...I say that when you run out of Stanley stuff, we start all over nad read 'em AGAIN!<br /><br />Thanks for all your insite and labor.
