Nice subset, and the cool covers on all these! What was with the 'nephew' thing and the classic cartoon characters? (Donald, Mickey, Porky, Jerry -can't remember if Nibbles was his actual nephew or adopted 'son') Only Sylvester was a Dad by my recollection. I think that the main characters maybe needed a sidekick or two, and suspect the nephew thing would be a lot easier to explain to 1950's America then a dad without a mom. Where's mom? and why aren't you married to her? A visiting relative could be used then if no longer needed they would "go back to their parents".

I can remember asking my Mom on one occasion of watching Looney Tunes "Where's Sylvester Jr.'s mom"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, they had already established that most of the characters in question had moderately high profile "girlfriends, not wives"...Daisy, Minnie, Petunia. Sylvester didn't, so they could go with a son rather than a nephew. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This thread fell to page 3??? Can't have it! Bumping with a #16 picked up today. Alas, not another Beverly Larson, but certainly nice enough for an LTMM under #20. Marty Mann, OtherEric and batman_fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
