I'm not sure he lettered the balloons, but I believe he did the display lettering, logos and sound effects. My late father-in-law was a commercial artist in the 1930s, and had some magnificent Speedball books on hand lettering. That's what Fago's lettering reminds me of. He kept that style forever, it seems, and it was always very distinctive.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-23851161727629336502011-10-26T06:23:48.413-07:002011-10-26T06:23:48.413-07:00Plus, he had one of those great cartoonist signatu...Plus, he had one of those great cartoonist signatures!Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-8199442271561473192011-10-26T06:23:04.214-07:002011-10-26T06:23:04.214-07:00Pappy: This is some really good Al Fago (who was p...Pappy: This is some <i>really</i> good Al Fago (who was pretty darned good on the worst of days). I'm loving his character design on the Unfriendly Genie! Look at those hands on the first splash panel! I always considered Fago one of the forgotten masters of kids' comics.
