I can really see Gordon's great style most evidently in the dog, Tige; and in several of the military, two legged characters. I can see evidence of his inking throughout as well. <br /><br />Good going, Alberto! And great post of a real find, Pap!Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-66959406142262743222012-05-09T08:56:36.915-07:002012-05-09T08:56:36.915-07:00Bless you, Alberto!

I even have a Dan Gordon strip from <i>Cookie</i> scheduled for May 23.<br /><br />I will change my text to fit what you told me. I was not aware that Dan Gordon was still drawing comics as late as 1959, but I can see him now.<br /><br />Mykal Banta, of The Big Blog of Kids' Comics, what say you?Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-4216321885193963342012-05-08T09:43:16.503-07:002012-05-08T09:43:16.503-07:00Hi Pappy.

I do think this is the great Dan Gordon, who did a lot of funny animal stuff for ACG and Better in the forties and early fifties.<br /><br />In fact this looks like his later stuff, what he drew for "Funny Films"...<br /><br />Tell me what you think about it, please.<br /><br />Best,<br />AlbertoAlbertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098382848831305863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-79584550041637301022012-05-07T03:25:55.613-07:002012-05-07T03:25:55.613-07:00Thanks to all for the comments.

How about a story from "Buster Brown Comics" featuring Smilin' Ed, Midnight the Cat, Squeekie the Mouse, as well as the rascal, Froggy the Gremlin? Also, how about a Reed Crandall story from a Buster Brown Comic?

If not the pencils, for sure I believe it's his inking. Kurt's crisp, clean inking is almost a signature.<br /><br />The story itself is bizarre, fitting into that ACG/Richard E. Hughes style, and since ACG was Schaffenberger's home away from DC (and <i>Lois Lane</i>) I believe his hand is evident in this shoe store giveaway comic.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-77966926764881849482012-05-06T08:44:32.929-07:002012-05-06T08:44:32.929-07:00What magnificent art!

The hands for all "human" characters have a thin quality that is uniform. <br /><br />I really hope someone can spot this artist, but if not - at least we can enjoy it anyway!Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.com
