Funny Folks

D. C. strikes again.

Funny Folks, May 1946.  Rube Grossman.





Wretched.  But just because the art, er...sucks is no reason to exclude an anthro comic from Hybrid, I'll take all the copy I can get, God willin' and the creek don't rise.


 

 But why stop there?  Here is an Italian Harmobell.  This is a harmonica with bells you would ring while playing.  Not made after 1945, oddly enough.


Be your own street musician.  Make inoffensive, startled strangers smile. Dance, grateful monkey, dance!


Funny Folks #2.  DC Publications, June-July 1946







Bill Hudson.


Words fail me.  This has it all.







Ron Santi, 'writer' unknown.







Woody Gelman, story.  Art by Irving Dressler.
 

 OK, that's it.  No more.  Artist Otto Feur, and a piss poor job he did of it too.

Funny Folks ran 60 issues, at # 27 the name was changed to Hollywood Funny Folks.  The comic lasted until July 1954.


You'll put your eye out, kid.

    Hey Billy! Wendy wanted me to tell you that this is quite the, uh, potpourri of unsavory-looking furry characters. She says the elephant is simply disgusting. She's happy to see that Joe Kangaroo isn't wearing boxing gloves, though.

    Joe shows up in a boxing scene, of course, the originality of this comic was not exactly cutting edge. And Wendy is turning her back on the great traditions of her people!

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

      Hi Guys! I'm back with some more anthro bug weirdness courtesy of Peterman's Roach Food!   This stuff was designed to kill cockroaches and other insect vermin way back in the early 1900s !  It came in a bright red tin covered with microscopic pictures that tell a most distressing story !  Seems that the bugs are up in arms because something is killing them off !  They have formed a " protective association " and are marching in protest kind of like Coxey's Army !           But it's no good !  All that marching has worked up the bugs' appetites !  So they check in to chow down on some of that delicious " roach food ."  Too bad it's poison !  One by one, the roaches eat the tainted feast and they croak , right there on the package !     Man, that's tough !  But I guess if you've got cockroaches marching around in your kitchen , this is how you deal with them !   ...

Two Different Dragons

  I'm not sure if these dragons are considered "anthro" or "furry"(although they both have a little fur)-but they are both intelligent creatures!  Haku from Spirited Away- He is an eastern dragon with a wolf-like head and white fur/scales and green mane. He can transform into a human boy when he chooses-plus he is also a river spirit/guardian. He never speaks in his dragon form but he is a very intelligent creature. If you have not seen this classic Studio Ghibli movie, please do so! Falkor the luck dragon is from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story. In the original book illustrations, he had the look of a Eastern dragon with a lion's head. In the movie,he had the long body of an Eastern dragon but with a dog-like face. Either way,he is a positive creature who encourages the hero Atreyeu throughout the film. " Believe and good luck will find you"
