We still have a number of his originals as well as some Jack Kirby artwork and a few others (i.e. Terry and the Pirates).Jeff G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00870125653732689366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-2826592834874593362021-08-15T12:13:08.396-07:002021-08-15T12:13:08.396-07:00Excellent scholarship.

None of the papers that ran it, had single gags on the same day. Everywhere I found it, it was used on the ad personals rather than the comic page and always very randomly. Some of the doubles I had were published moths apart.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-21474776334516290122021-08-14T23:34:08.710-07:002021-08-14T23:34:08.710-07:00Great stuff.

I just wrote a piece about Syd Shores' work for the Mad imitation and this seems to suggest he ghosted for/worked with Shores. Since I have a list of everything Shores did (including some that are less typical of his style), it would make it easier to point out some possibles. Shores was only an artist at Cracked, Sol Brodsky was the editor in the first ten or eleven issues. By the way, did you know you can see the whole of #10 at the Internet Archive - which includes the Syd Shores article How To Meet Your Neighbour and un uncredited piece I can't place called Tipping?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-15926269240349134752021-08-13T14:51:35.158-07:002021-08-13T14:51:35.158-07:00Wonderful interview.
