Bugs Bunny's Merry Christmas, 1 of 2

Dell's Four Color Comics, their one-shot and tryout series, had Christmas comics. Here's issue 1064 from 1959.

According to Grand Comics Database, this cover is by Ralph Heimdahl.

The art is by Tony Strobl and Steve Steere, story by Don R. Christensen

Pencils are attributed to John Carey.

Merry Christmas Dammit

Seasons' Greetings to all my imaginary friends.





And here's the cartoon I post every Friday.

Harpoon #3, 2 of 5

I think "Kathy Taylor" might have been a pseudonym For B.K. Taylor. He was starting to work at LAMPOON at the same time so he might have used a pen name for the competition. He used the name "Jackson Hooker" a couple times when something was particularly dirty.

Harpoon #3, 1 of 5

Since this was their Christmas issue, I'll post it now.

HARPOON was an imitation of NATIONAL LAMPOON that had to change its name to APPLE PIE. LAMPOON's legal department thought the name was too similar to it and the college humor magazine it got its name from, HARVARD LAMPOON. You can see why there would be some confusion.

Notice how they have a lot of mainstream comics people. My friend Lester wrote for them. I should ask him about it.
