I recently found these strips inside a scan of The May 1947 of EC Comics' "Fat and Slat." These were "Pre-Trend" ECs, before William Gaines inherited the company from his father. These stories are a real treat for Golden Age Comics fans!! Enjoy!

The comic is great. I'm a big Ed Wheelan fan. So straightforward, charming, and fun.
Weren't there other comic characters whose "gimmick" was that they loved comic books? I think there was one called "supersnipe" who was "the boy with the most comic books in the world."
Probably a "hip" commentary on their times, seeing as comics were only 7 years old as a phenomenon when this comic was made. (The internet is older today than comic books were at the time this comic was drawn.)
Is there a Sherm blog where you put Sherm drawings? I'd love to see it! BEcause I demanded it!
best wishes,

I had never heard of Ed Wheelan before I saw these strips...so I did a little searching and added a link to the post: http://www.toonopedia.com/minute-m.htm

Wow! Great to hear from you, Stephen! I haven't talked to you since The Ren & Stimpy Show days! Anyway, I just posted the second Comics McCormick story from Fat & Slat #2. I'm so glad that people have been posting oddball little comic-book treasures on their blogs, so I just decided to join in the fun!
ReplyDeleteTalk to you soon...
