Have you ever read those amazing Super Mouse comics by Milt Stein? Well, these Super-Cat comics are nothing like those. They’re clumsily drawn and the story is so stupid that it’s charming.

OK…to be fair, this Super-Cat is really just a parody place-holder than a real character like Super Mouse was. Super-Cat’s total obliviousness is kinda fun…

I’m just fascinated by the clunky off-kilter low-rent second-string execution of this story. The first three panels are so incredibly dopey that I was hooked right away

Enjoy!

Here are some amazing funny animal comics by Dan Gordon. These are from the ACG comic, Funny Films #1 from September, 1949.

Funny Films comic book scan cover detail featuring cartoon dogs, horse, cat, owl and bunny rabbit

The opening story features Puss & Boots in a hilarious cat-vs-dog comedy that transcends the cliches of the genre because of the absolute unbridled mayhem and unapologetic violence-for-the-gag's-sake. You can practically hear all the great sound effects of hammers hitting heads! And most of all...LOOK at those DRAWINGS!

Another Puss & Boots burlesque follows, and it's one of my favorites!

Rocky Rabbit in “Doctor’s Orders”

Posted by Admin at 9:37 AM 0 comments

Loose and lively brushwork from animation story man Irv Spector. And what a strange rushed composition in that last panel! Sometimes, you really need someone to write, “The End” in the corner to keep you from thinking you missed something. But that’s it. That rushed weirdness is one of my favorite things about those old one-page filler comics.
Check out the official Irv Spector blog at http://irvspector.blogspot.com/ for more comic book art and animation storyboards and photos and stories about the life of this versatile and dynamic cartoonist!
