Today’s featured comic comes courtesy of Pappy’s Golden Age Comics Blogzine. A Bill Everett tale from Atlas Comics’ Venus #19. Everett is better known as the creator of the Sub-Mariner.
Yesterday, I put the first press release on the Cartoonist Conspiracy’s 2008 24 Hour Comics Day event in Minneapolis. Don’t miss checking out Kevin Cannon‘s fantastic poster for it… click the image to go to the link and check it out at a legible size.
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.
