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. https://youtu.be/AJvitLr60Z4    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, ki...

Hi Guys , Recently, Flapper Foxy posted a cool pic of her 1930s cow lady, Bessie .  You can see it right here :   https://hybridfabulousfurryfun.blogspot.com/2021/01/1930s-hats-bessie-and-beatrice.html This got me to thinking about Elsie the Cow , another bovine beauty of the Depression era .  Elsie arrived on the scene in 1936 , but it wasn't until 1939 that she really started to become a household name.   In that year, she became the centerpiece of the Borden Exhibit at the New York World's Fair .  It was a little confusing , because Elsie was both a cartoon character and a real-live cow , but people didn't mind.  In fact, Elsie became a huge hit with all of the folks who made the pilgrimage to the World of Tomorrow !     Even so, there were some problems .  Was Elsie supposed to be an actual cow or an anthro cow ?  For a while, it looked like the Borden execs couldn't make up their minds !  Some of the World's Fair...

Dateline, Hollywood - 1942.  Bugs Bunny shows us everything in "The Wabbit That Came To Supper".  In this, Elmer Fudd has to not harm animals, especially rabbits, in order to inherit 3 million dollars from his Uncle Louie.  Naturally, Bugs takes full bore advantage of this.  There is no doubt that we are supposed to think Bugs has just flashed us.  What you are seeing is the arch of the bunny's legs with a white bathtub behind him, the mechanics of a morally bankrupt transvestite psychopath rabbit stepping out of a shower excited would be a wonder.  Do not think for a second that these artists were unaware of what they were doing.  There was no reason to draw Bugs like that, no one would have done so just to make extra work for themselves.  They went out of their way on this one, these guys were.. .nefarious!  The guy in charge of Warner's animation division (Eddie Selzer) was a humorless jerk who took credit for other people...

1986, Blackthorne Publishing.  Blackthorne was in business from 1985 to 1990, they put out a 3-D adaption of Michael Jackson's moonwalker and the resultant (should have known better) disaster folded them under.  Too bad, this was a good imprint.  Tales of the Jackalope is by Robert L. Crab. An inspiration for Hybrid Online.  Fantographics, 1985 - 1990. A shame that this went under, I like Mr. Crab's art and writing.  But then again, the Texas Jackalope is what all of us regular rabbits aspire to be.  Perhaps someday... Alas, it will never be.  Nature don't work that way! Achtung, Wolpertinger ! Albrecht Durer.  1502 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolpertinger
