Another embarrassment of riches for you… it seems like the amount of cool old scans online has been increasing exponentially lately. Again, really hard to pick one item to feature. I mean, Marc Bell has a blog!

However, I’m guessing the link most of my readers will be the most drawn to today is again courtesy of Stephen Worth at the utterly fantastic ASIFA Hollywood Animation Archive blog. He has posted three old Sunday funnies sections in their entirety, along with an essay wondering what the hell happened to make newspaper comics sink to the depths they have sunk to today. Lots of beautiful stuff, scanned large and clean. Pictured below, a panel from Clifford McBride’s Napoleon, one of the many, many comics featured. Click it to see the full post!
