Readcomix Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I have always wondered what exactly is going on on this cover. Even after getting a copy to check out up close, I still have no idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This one always perplexed me. Overstreet hypes it as greatest story ever, or somesuch (really; look it up) and I think it holds up as a Golden Age classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricmastro Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) The weird stuff from Fox’s All Good Comics. Wish I knew the artists that drew all this just so I could potentially find out about more weird stories they drew. Haha.

catman76 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The Ribticker fox giant is full of really weird awesome stuff and I think it might hold the record for most suicides in one comic book. There are four suicides in this comic, two in one story alone Electricmastro and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four suicides in this comic, two in one story alone I’m sure at least one of these stories could be reasonably traced back to Ellis Chambers, though lately, I’ve been discovering funny animal art arguably as interestingly weird as his art. DC artist Lou Ferstadt seems to have contributed more art to Fox than most may have thought, including funny animal art, particularly for Fox’s giant-sized comics. His signed funny animal art done for other publishers very much makes me wonder: Source: CB+ Edited October 2, 2020 by Electricmastro Mmehdy and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His signed funny animal art done for other publishers very much makes me wonder: Yep Chambers drew probably half of the Ribtickler giant and it's in his super fast reefer style. He would lock himself in his apartment with tons of weed and heroin and crank out an entire 52 comic or more over a weekend. Funny animal comics are the most interesting to me, most were done by animators from Fleischer and Terrytoons on the side for some extra money. All the animation studios and comic publishers were within walking distance of each other in New York. Ferstadt was a big time New York guy, had many newspaper strips going, did tons of mural work all around New York so I am sure he was doing some comic book work on the side for anyone too. Publishers would also just buy art from basically anyone that came in and it seems really didn't care at all about what funny animal stuff they published so you get this crazy off the wall stuff that borders on outsider art , art brut stuff that's completely out there and nuts. For some reason it all got reigned in by 1950. All that stuff disappeared and everything became really bland and predictable. Even Ellis Chambers' early and mid 1950s stuff is almost unrecognizable, the life is gone out of it. I guess publishers and editors stopped just accepting and publishing anything at all and demanded some sanity for some reason. Most likely to try and compete with the slick Disney comics which were the best selling comics selling in the millions per issue. it's a shame.
