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/

Kamaitachi

Japanese whirlwind demon.  I could not find the name of the artist but I am guessing that the red kanji is a signature.  These invisible demons employ their sickle claws to do their thing.  Pretty malevolent, if you ask me.   If anybody has invisible flying bloodthirsty slasher weasels it would be the Japanese.  This vicious fellow is by Xatchett off DeviantArt.   https://www.deviantart.com/xatchett   These yokai ride dustdevils and whirlwinds and slash up the unwary, while drawing no blood.  In the 1890's there was a rash of these attacks. Some anime.   https://youtu.be/sxC-g5sCWXk The whirlwind thing seems to be a big part of all this. Kamaitachi, by Eikoh Hosea, 1969. And another.   This is the photographer who took the dynamic black and white pictures of Yukio Mishima I had posted in an earlier essay.   The model in this series, Kamaitachi, is a famous avant-garde dancer, Tatsumi H
