I’ve always liked Syd Hoff’s gag cartoons and his childrens’ books… Barkley, Oliver and Grizzwold are frequent reads with my three year old. Here’s a selection of Syd Hoff cartoons from his book Feeling No Pain (1944) at Hairy Green Eyeball.

Any day I can feature some George Herriman is a good day… and these days, between the Krazy Kat dailies reprints at Comic Strip Library News and Mark Kausler’s CatBlog, the Herriman Saturdays at the Stripper’s Guide, and stuff that just shows up miscellaneously, I’m happy to report that this seems to happen almost every time I post.

Note that in the news on their site, Comic Strip Library News reports they have now posted the complete pre-1923 Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay.

The Fortress Of Fortitude takes us on a trip to Weird City (published originally in Blue Bolt Weird Tales of Terror # 119).

Also, another of Mr. Holtz’s wonderful Herriman Saturdays, reprinting some of George Herriman’s extremely rare early editorial cartooning work. This week includes more coverage of the previously mentioned Shriners’ convention.

Another beautiful monstrosity from Jim Woodring.

TODAY’S FEATURED ITEMS:

I Love Comix brings us some highly bizarre Chester Gould Dick Tracy Sundays from a few years before he retired. Gould’s art and stories were always highly eccentric, but near the end of his run a lot of his strips were downright incoherent… always interesting, though. Click the image above to go there.

The Comic Book Catacombs brings us Concert of the Apes… click the image above to go there.

Another Herriman Saturday at Allan Holtz’s Stripper’s Guide! Click the image above to go there.

Golden Age Comic Book Stories brings us a bunch of gorgeous Winsor McCay editorial illustrations. Click the image above to go there.

Finally, Scans Daily presents a wonderful and fairly obscure (not reprinted, as far as I know) Alan Moore/Don Simpson rarity from the 1986 Fantagraphics anthology Anything Goes! #2. Click the above image to go there.

TODAY’S FEATURED ITEM: Uncle John’s Crazy Town has been posting a lot of amazing looking stills from old Columbia Krazy Kat cartoons. I have always arbitrarily & stupidly dismissed these cartoons without watching them, as they totally ignored the “source material”… George Herriman’s brilliant Krazy Kat comic strips. It appears that in spite of their apparent disdain for or dismissal of Herriman’s work, their cartoons stand on their own as something werra werra interesting. From seeing the stills he has posted, they look pretty amazing… I’m going to have to see what Columbia Krazy Kats I can hunt down on the internet. Check out the short clip of the devious looking mesmerist doing his thing from the Krazy Kat cartoon Svengarlic by clicking the above image… and then check out the rest of the blog to see Kat stills.
