Rip Kirby Part II

More stunning artwork by Alex Raymond from "Enter: The Mangler" 1946.





The artwork above were taken from shrunk, cut up versions that were re-mounted for publication in the 90's. But still...

Very nice art, but it seems like Raymond drew the pictures and didn't plan for the baloons to fit in. "Just stick them somewhere they fit".

Actually the re-monted proofs I found also had the balloons re-drawn. So Raymond should not be blamed here. :) His placement of balloons was better. Especially when you compare the original version of the fourth panel in the 1946-09-16 daily, with the one seen here. In the swedish version it looks like Honey is talking through her ... butt. :)
