selegue Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ken Hultgren, right? I don't think it's Jack Bradbury. The ACG/Creston/Standard funny animal books (Giggle Comics and Ha Ha Comics) have some great art and stories! I have one GIGGLE and a handful of HA HAs and HAPPYs but no COO COOs (how long have I pined to write that sentence?) , and they consistently over-deliver, especially based on the price. 1945-53 in presentable good to fine condition and only one cost over $5. Scrooge featured Ha Ha in his (sadly moribund) Month in the Life series. Ha Ha Comics (bottom post if you use default page numbering) Goofy Comics also has some information about the Sangor Shop funny animal artists. Coo Coo Comics Scrooge, did you feature Giggle out of order? Do you (or yulebones) think that many or most of the "?" art credits on those pages are Hultgren?

shiverbones Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) I do think most of the work is by Hultgren. He brings a fun style & energy to these books. I can't imagine him doing all the titles, but I have had the most giggle, and they all look like him. Many stories are signed, and the ones that aren't in giggle or haha look just like him. I also have been coo coo-less Edited December 5, 2008 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ken Hultgren, right? I don't think it's Jack Bradbury. Definitely not Bradbury and does look like Hultgren. (thumbs u Scrooge, did you feature Giggle out of order? Never covered Giggle because I bought my copy in Nov. 2005 and I was already past it alphabetically by then with the Goofy entry posted on 08/16/05 for example. One day ... Too bad on the Giggle since I really like that cover. I am attaching an example of a signed Hultgren splash for comparison too - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 To keep with the thread's theme, here's Frisky Animals. Not quite Christmas but of the season - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I had a copy of that frisky with a newsprint cover once, it looks like yours is regular paper, is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 AFAIR, it's a regular stock cover, not a newsprint cover. As you say, it's quite clear on the scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 interesting, I wonder what I had. I didn't notice it being canadian or anything, so I assumed they switched stock for that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOT Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The turkey leftovers are gone. Maybe it's time to revive this thread. From 1954 to 1962, Western Publishing produced Christmas giveaway comics for Ford Motor Company, to be distributed at the famous Ford Rotunda. Some have great wraparound covers. Some issues contain comic art by noted children's book artist Richard Scarry. Most have some puzzle/activity/coloring pages. A couple of the later issues have more illustrated story content than comics. Limited distribution, puzzles and coloring pages that were often completed, and demand by car collectors make these tough to locate in condition. The Guide has recently included them in the promo comic section, but the listed prices seem pretty low. 1954 issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
