Lets See Those Funny Animal Books!

I have been a Duck collector since I was a teenager.  I enjoy finding those crossovers into different media.  Barks story about the bill collectors was converted from a comic story in WDCS 74 to text in book format Donald and the Boys.  I especially liked the part where the nephews defeated Bat Man.  The art was redrawn a little to help it along but still good Barks.

Sometimes the comic books were copied to make Big Little Books.  BLB books sometimes had an extra cartoon that could be animated by flipping the pages.  It would be nice to see all of those animations if someone has the time and energy to put them together.

I love this issue, it's a hard to find one and the cover was only inked by L.B. Cole, that I am almost 100 percent certain. Almost all pre Star Publications funny animal covers attributed to Cole were only inked by him, they were drawn by Ellis Chambers. Some were signed by both of them, but most are totally unsigned. Cole's solo funny animal covers for Star are very different, he tried to copy Chambers' style in those, like the use of the double lines.

I haven't really bought many funny animal GA comics but found this cool one at the LCS pretty cheap ... I wouldn't think its L.B. Cole, but it seems odd that someone had him do a cover recreation of it so who knows: https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/l-b-cole-taffy-comics-4-cover-recreation-original-art-undated-/a/121647-13042.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515
