So much good stuff…

Our friends at Barnacle Press continue to post amazing stuff… today they posted a bunch of examples of Oscar und Adolf by Everett True cartoonist A.D. Condo, as well as a weird out-of-character (that is to say non-violent) appearance by Mr. True in Alley Oop from 1969! Click the image to go there. Recently they also posted scans of the gorgeous strip Madge the Magician’s Daughter which I forgot to highlight.

The Horrors of It All brings us Basil Wolverton’s classic Gateway to Horror.

And last and certainly least, Pappy’s Golden Age Comics Blogzine brings us The Vagabond…

My friend Loopi has sent us the latest hilarious Everett True homage strip. The guy on the left is really going to regret it when he inevitably asks Everett where his skis are. You can see more of Loopi’s comics here. Thanks Loopi!

Another great cartoon from the Max Fleischer Color Classics series.

You can get all but one of the Color Classics on this great DVD set called Somewhere in Dreamland:

I’ve noticed a couple additional things worth noting going through the DVD set. First of all, the color on some of the cartoons, although still seemingly faded, is hugely improved over the other versions of them that I’ve seen… this is particularly obvious comparing versions of Hawaiian Birds. Also, in the version of Peeping Penguins included, the song “Curiosity Killed the Cat” is curiously missing from the soundtrack, which is a damn shame. I haven’t checked it against my other version of it, but it seemed like this version may have been shorter as well. In spite of these relatively minor flaws, this is still an incredible set of cartoons. You can click the above image to order it.
