I hope everything is all right. It seems appropriate at this time to promise Pappy's readers that if something happens to me I've given Mrs. Pappy instructions to post it on the blog itself. I'm never happy when blogs just go quiet, with no word as to whether they'll ever be back again. <br /><br />To you potential bloggers, if you find it's too much work or you get too busy to do your blog anymore, please have the courtesy to announce it to your readers.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-27961327523184143842012-12-18T16:07:49.424-08:002012-12-18T16:07:49.424-08:00Keir, I'd say that despite China being an ally...Keir, I'd say that despite China being an ally, in those days Asians were still part of "the other" — those races that seemed sinister and so alien to us. So despite being on our side against a common enemy, they were still fodder for racist caricature.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-48257890251241601612012-12-18T16:05:36.561-08:002012-12-18T16:05:36.561-08:00Brian Barnes, I always thought Bob Q.

Charles Biro wanted to "see everything" as he told Alex Toth years later, so they drew what was written, and if the scripter described a panel they did their best. As you say, the panel mentioned is an absolute failure as art, but successful in that off-kilter way that endears these comics to us.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-89545986760778782132012-12-17T09:54:51.277-08:002012-12-17T09:54:51.277-08:00While normally I like to be overly analytic, I jus...While normally I like to be overly analytic, I just can't get past the glory that is Page 7, Panel 5.<br /><br />It's so goofy but it tries so hard. The artist was really attempting to do a interesting shot, but just with the worst elements and the most humorous position possible. An absolute failure but everything is made better for it!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-4455886660296561462012-12-17T07:24:58.469-08:002012-12-17T07:24:58.469-08:00Howdy,

Wonder if Ingels had these in the back of his mind?<br /><br />Also, does any one know what's going on over at Golden Age Comic Stories? Haven't had a new post since December 5. Beginning to worry.<br /><br />Thanks for posting,<br /><br /><br />Brian Riedelbzakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186291368564793358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-86995619554904502292012-12-17T04:54:57.531-08:002012-12-17T04:54:57.531-08:00The Claw's final comment is an anti-climax.
