I picked this story of the Digital Comic Book website and forgot to note which book it was from. The artist (whose style I like a lot) seems to be Carl Hubbell, who I know to have worked for Gleason. But this was from a different publisher and quite unexpected. Maybe a filler at Harvey or something at Magazine Enterprises. Anyway, for more rarities by Hubbell, have a look at my book Behaving Madly, which you can get by clicking on the Amazon link at the right.

Girl Power
Thursday Story Strip Day.
I think Carl Hubbell was quite an impressive artist, even though much of his work is unknown today. For a long time, he had his own comic strip called Merrie Chase, which showcased his 'cosy' style. I have never seen any dialies or Sundays offered on ebay or any of the collectors sites, so I wonder how many of them are still out there. But thankfully these days we have all of these online newspaper sites that have digitalized microfiche scans. Every time I came across some Sundays there, they were the complete three tier form, which helps a lot.

Hio Mankin!
Saturday Leftover Day
The Roy Rogers strip had many different artists. I never really looked at it until I saw the middle years, drawn by Hi Mankin. Mankin has a slightly caricatured style, similar to that of artist such as Norman Maurer, Carl Hubbell and Bill Elder. I recently came across a paper that has three dailies every Wednesday and Friday, making it a lot easier for me to clip and collect them. The files are quite big, though. So I had to do a trail to see how well they upload. To add to that, I have used all my various Roy Rogers clippings through amassed over the years. The good news is, that uploading was no problem and the soonest available spot I will start a longer storyline.

More Merrie
Thursday Story Strip Day.
Merrie Chase caught my eye mostly because it was drawn by two artists who later made a name for themselves in comics, Carl Hubell and Paul Reinman. Hubbel started the strip in August 1949 and continued it into februari 1950, when it was taken over by Reinman in a completely different style. I previously showed some strips from that period of transition, di I have copied those here and added a few more I have foun dsince. It is not really enough to really get into the story, but this selection nicely covers all periods. Only while I am typing this, I realize I never had a good look when Reinman's run ended. It can't have been long after this.
