Mr. Tawny and the Wild Man

By -

 


 

 

Hi Guys!

I'm back with another Mr. Tawny story from the pages of Captain Marvel Adventures for September 1948!  You might remember that Mr. Tawny is a talking anthro tiger who has forsaken his jungle home to hang with humans!  A lot of his adventures are about him trying to fit in, but this time, he's got to help a wild man get acclimated to civilized living!  



Captain Marvel Adventures 88, September 1948



To tell the truth, there's not a lot of Mr. Tawny here -- Mostly this story is about Captain Marvel chasing after a cave man.  What's kinda cool is that when Tawny does appear, he seems to be the smartest one in the room!  Check it out and you'll see what I mean!

 

 









Seems that all's well that ends well, especially when Captain Marvel is dishing out those atomic punches!  Jungo's been licked, but now he's on his way to becoming a productive member of society, thanks to Mr. Tawny's civilizing influence!  Who's the real superhero here?  Take a minute to think about it before you answer!

OK guys, that's all for now -- See you next time!


What does it say?  Let us know in the comments below!

    It works perfectly with the Billy D 'Batson' Bunny's decoder.

      NO DOUBT ALL OF YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE WORRIED AND GLOOMY! WELL, CAPTAIN MARVEL CERTAINLY HASN'T BEEN IMMUNE TO SUCH FEELINGS EITHER! WHAT COULD MAKE THE WORLD'S MIGHTIEST MORTAL DISMAL AND FORLORN? YOU CAN FIND OUT BY READING CAPTAIN MARVEL'S MELANCHOLIA IN NEXT MONTHS ISSUE!

      Cool! Like an idiot, I tried to copy and paste directly from the scan -- of course that didn't work. Thanks! And thanks to Billy for the translation, because I'd probably still mess up the copy-and-paste part...

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/

The Cockroach Union and Waterbugs Protective Association

      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"
