Happy Fourth of July!

 Happy Fourth of July!

Baby Show?

 Reigning American League MVP Shohei Ohtani is awesome as a pitcher and hitter, but...

Does he really have anything on Baby Huey?

Maybe not!

Christmas 1945 - Part 5 - Disney!

As we stay in the 1945 holiday season for a bit longer, we check out a couple of Disney comic books:

Imagine if someone got you a subscription to "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" as a Christmas present and you got this awesome certificate:

How cool is that?

Walt Disney's big release of the year was "The Three Caballeros," inspiring this card:

Always fun stuff from Disney!

Christmas 1945 - Part 4 - Comic Books

While hanging around Christmas of 1945, we take a look at some of the comic books kids could read back then!

It gets confusing at times, as comic books always had a cover date a couple of moths in the future, so the ones available in December of 1945 would actually show a 1946 date.

That being said, I think these were on sale in December of 1945:

This next one was published in 1944, but it's cool, so we'll say it escaped the paper drive and some kids were still reading it a year later:

Good fun!

Christmas 1936 - Part 4 - Comic Books (and things)

                                     

Still hanging around Christmas of 1936, we take a look at a few comic book covers.

This was a couple of years before Superman made his debut, forever changing the comic book landscape. A lot of comic books of the time were reprints of newspaper comic strips.

So, here's a few:

Let's throw in a couple of kids' magazines:

And a songbook:

And one for the grown-ups:

They all really have a fun mid-1930s look!
