Cheers for that Maurice, shame that D.C. Thomson didn't play ball, but we got some good work from him in the world of I.P.C. 

 I only used to get Wham! every now and then, depending on whether I could beg,steal, or borrow any money. for it... .. but it was a good little comic. Paper wasn't particularly good, I've seen copies for sale now with really heavy foxing, due to the coarseness of wood pulp content in the paper.

Anyway, this is out at the end of next month, (you would've thought they'd tie it in with Halloween,) .

No Foggy, they're by a British artist Ken Reid. I've been taking liberties and posting things about  UK comics

as a kid we were always disappointed anytime the stooges episode included Joe Besser  pictured in the middle

(also known to us kids in the neighborhood as  "  Curly Shmoo " )

of course nobody could ever live up to the original Curly.......

[1950's war comics]

Yep the original curly was nearly irreplaceable ..... but he suffered a stroke on screen....

 

Half-Wits Holiday would be Curly's final appearance as an official member of the Stooges. During filming on May 6, 1946, Curly suffered a severe stroke while sitting in director Jules White's chair, waiting to film the last scene of the day. When Curly was called by the assistant director to take the stage, he did not answer. Moe went looking for his brother: he found Curly with his head dropped to his chest. Moe later recalled that his mouth was distorted and he was unable to speak, only cry. Moe quietly alerted White to all this, leading the latter to rework the scene quickly, dividing the action between Moe and Larry. Curly was then rushed to the hospital, where Moe joined him after the filming.

The whole episode of "Half-Wits Holiday" is available for viewing on YouTube,

it is a real funny episode about 17 minutes long, but it is also very sad knowing Curly is suffering during filming, and that it would be Curly's last full episode.

whom... that ever saw it is a kid could ever forget the classic " Curly the plumber " scene  ??

[1950's war comics]

when you consider he was replacing a living legend ...Shemp. actually held his own in replacing Curly ...

But tragedy befell Shemp also ... he died during mid-season in 1955 and the Stooges were contractually obligated to provide four more episodes,... during these four episode we were introduced to the famous/infamous " Fake Shemp " who was a stand in and was only filmed from behind as shown

 

[1950's war comics]

they went to great lengths to make it appear as if it was the real Shemp ... it is unknown to me what the reaction if any was by the audience who watched these episode when originally aired

it seems obvious now that he was not the real Shemp ,.. but back then especially the younger kids .. they most likely would not have noticed ??
