Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First time in comics Uncle Wiggily. (History of childrens comics) At the time of Dell Publishing's launch of 'Animal Comics' humorous animal stories were becoming popular, but it was the first comic book to specialize in that genre using comic book creations. The first issue was published in 1941, and the title ended with issue #30 in December 1947. Animal Comics is best known for the first appearance of the historic 'Pogo', drawn by Walt Kelly, which appeared in issue #1. The original story titled 'Albert Takes the Cake' introduces Pogo the possum and Albert the alligator. Also in the story is a young African-American boy named Bumbazine, who would soon be dropped, as Kelly found humor easier with just animals. Walt Kelly also produced other non-Pogo pages for Animal Comics and others who contributed to the title were Dan Noonan and John Stanley, who is now best known for his work on Little Lulu. In 1948 Walt Kelly was hired as a political cartoonist for the New York Star newspaper and decided to use his Pogo characters in the daily strip. This debuted on October 4, 1948. The paper folded very soon afterwards, but the strip survived and was syndicated by Post-Hall Syndicate, going national. The strip was designed to be read on many levels, so it could be enjoyed by young and old alike. The slapstick was designed for the younger audience and the puns and satire for the older generation. Pogo was the first comic book series to make a permanent transition to newspapers. It lasted 27 years and continued even after Walt Kelly's death until the last issue in July 20,1975. Amongst others George Ward and Henry Shikuma worked on the strip as Walt Kelly's assistants. The comic reprints from Escamilla Comics are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old.

Download or read book American Funny Animal Comics in the 20th Century Volume Two written by Alberto Beccatini and published by Theme Park Press. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grail of Funny Animals For decades, Italian comics historian Alberto Becattini has been researching and writing about American funny animal comics. In this second volume of his two-part opus, Becattini presents the fruits of his labors, the definitive guide for funny animal fans, collectors, and historians alike. Becattini examines the funny animal phenomenon, starting from its origins in popular and children's literature, and continuing through its appearances in newspaper comics, comic books, and comic magazines. All of the more famous characters are included, such as those created at Disney, Lantz, Warner Bros., MGM, and other cartoon studios, as well as the many lesser-known characters that appeared in obscure comic book titles issued by equally obscure comic book publishers. During the writing process, and while viewing thousands of comic strips and comic pages, Becattini had many discoveries and "epiphanies" that let him shed light on the identities of hitherto uncredited artists and writers. While his aim has been to highlight the talent behind the comics, rather than the stories and characters themselves, he also provides in-depth coverage of virtually every funny animal comic book, illustration, and animated cartoon. A must-have title for any serious funny animal fan!
