Worst Parents Ever

This poor kid is going to be a teenager someday.

Models, Inc.

This is cool. Back in 1992, Disney Comics ran these model sheets in the letter pages of Donald Duck Adventures. I love behind-the-scenes material like this.

When I was a kid I was equally as fascinated with the artists who gave us Disney comics and animation as I was with the end product. Features like this could be that Eureka Moment for a kid, when they realize actual human beings produce the cartoons they love.

My fantasy team is struggling right now, so forgive me if I'm not overly enthusiastic about this soulless attempt at corporate branding and "collectibility." But anyway, here's some Mickey Mouses with MLB logos all over em:

Not Disney: Kaspar the Dead Baby

OK, so it's not technically Disney-related. But, writer Marv Wolfman was Editor of Disney Adventures magazine and writer of Mickey Mouse Adventures back in the 90's. Also, Crazy Magazine was a Marvel publication, and of course Marvel is now Disney, so screw it! It's my blog and I'll post what I want! Anyway, here's Kaspar the Dead Baby:

Kaspar ran in Crazy #8, December 1974, written by Wolfman, art by Marie Severin.

I've always been a big fan of this strip, mostly because I love seeing the wholesome Harvey Comics house style mashed up with gruesome violence. The Hellboy Jr comics of the late 90's would take this same gimmick and run with it, to hilarious results.

Easily Mused has the entire sick, twisted story up for your reading "pleasure." Enjoy!

Why don't you come up and see me sometime?

Rare Gems

Sekvenskonst has an interesting post called The Gemstone That Never Was.

I miss Gemstone. As much as I love the work that Boom! is doing (especially their efforts to get kids reading Disney Comics again), I appreciated Gemstone's focus on the longtime collector. I collected Gladstones as a kid, and Gemstone recaptured a lot of that magic, in my opinion.

Undercover Brother

Marvel's iconic funny animal Howard the Duck is featured in this week's Comic Book Legends Revealed over on Comic Book Resources.

I'm a huge fan of Howard and his creator, Steve Gerber. If you haven't already done so, you owe it to yourself to pick up the Essential Howard collection...truly one of the great comics of the 1970's.
