Number 1774: Harvey humor

Not long ago I mentioned ignoring Harvey kiddie comics in the 1960s, then catching up to them in the seventies. There is a lot of repetition in those comics, because they were aimed at a young age group, but it does not mean they could not be creative and funny. I recently found three stories I thought were interesting, and funny enough to scan and post.

“The Millyumaire,” starring Baby Huey, satirizes a television show I remember from the fifties. The Grand Comics Database doesn”t list the artist, but based on a panel with “Taras” lettered on a window, I’ll make a guess it’s drawn by talented Marty Taras. It’s from Baby Huey and Papa #4 (1962). “Nightmare in ‘Pre-Hysterics’” is drawn by Howie Post, and “Casper Meets Goldilocks” is by Warren Kremer. Both stories are from Casper and Nightmare #13 (1966). Enjoy.
