Mr. Tawny's Sales Campaign

Captain Marvel Adventures 119, April 1951

 

Hi Guys!

I've got a new Mr. Tawny story for you courtesy of Captain Marvel Adventures for April, 1951!  By now, you know that Mr. Tawny, aka Tawky Tawny, is an anthropomorphic tiger who has come from the jungles of India to live among civilized folks in the U.S.A.!  He's got perfectly good manners and he speaks flawless English, yet for some reason, he has a hard time fitting in!  Even so, he always gives it his best shot, which brings us to the theme of today's offering!

Mr. Tawny is having some financial issues and he's rightly decided that he needs a second income to help make ends meet!  After opening a come-on in the mail, he sees an opportunity to make some coin as a door-to-door salesman!  It's the kind of job where the sky's the limit and a guy with a winning personality can make a fortune!  Mr. Tawny is, well, sold on the idea.  But as might be expected, things don't work out as planned.  Take a look and you'll see what I mean!

 









 




 


 


 


 

 

Mr. Tawny has had a rough time, for sure!  But all's well that ends well when the Better Business Bureau sends our hapless hero a thousand-dollar check to reward him for his help in exposing the swindling John Jippo!  That's a pretty good chunk of change, especially in 1951 dollars!  Mr. Tawny's financial woes are over, but you can bet that school's not out yet!  Mr. Tawny, it seems, has plenty of lessons still to learn!  And hey, who doesn't?

OK guys, hope you had as much fun with this as I did!  See you next time!

    Tawky is too civilized for his own good. And having Fred MacMurry in a cosplay outfit and bizarre cape following you around could not help sales one bit. Mr. Tawny should hit the wrestling circuit.

      I agree -- Mr. Tawny seems unable to see the possibilities where intelligent tigerdom is concerned... and what happened to Captain Marvel? I always thought he was a serious superhero until I started getting into his postwar adventures. He makes Bob Kane's Batman look like Frank Miller's Batman...

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"
