Patterson pages

Got a collection of the cover stories that Russell Patterson illustrated back in the 20's, 30's and 40's stored away in a box. Added a couple of pages to the collection last week and took snapshots of a few. Thought some of you might enjoy seeing them. :)

The main reason for posting the above images is this: In case someone ever wants to make a book of the weekly Patterson pages and finds this post, just let me know and I'll be happy to help you!

Since it's been a while since my last post, here's something completely unrelated to the above. A Barney Bear and Benny Burro page from Our Gang 32, just because I had it next to the Patterson pages on my desktop. :)

OK! Why stop while I'm at it?
Two more images found next to the above Barks page. I love Barney Google by Billy De'Beck and here are two eh... wonderfully bizarre images. Enjoy!

PS. Got quite a collection of Barney sundays by De'Beck and I'm always looking for more to fill the gaps. Will be happy to buy bulk lots of Barney sundays. Just send me a mail.

Horseface Klotz by DeBeck

It's saturday and I'm relaxing in the kitchen with my girlfriend. Both of us are working on our computers and our cat is watching us. On the stereo: Veronica Maggio.

Have been reading and scanning Barney Google dailies by the great Billy DeBeck for the past month and I thought I'd share some raw scans with you. Let's begin with taking a look at one of the forgotten characters: Horseface Klotz. 

He first appeared in the Barney Google strip in 1928 and was a part of the cast for the next two years. When Snuffy appeared in 1934 the likes of him, Sunshine and Sully were quickly forgotten.

Here are the first Klotz dailies from August 1928. (He had been mentioned, but not seen previously.) Enjoy!

 

PS. If you got Barney Google strips for sale I still have some gaps in my vast collection of BG dailies. Just drop me a mail. Or if you want to trade, I have thousands of BG dailies to trade with.
