Stripper's Guide

Hello, Allan-----I think this Buster Brown ad was a one-shot, as I never saw another, either. Voight did several early ad strips, as well, for (I think) Rinso detergent. Other retired strip characters that made their last appearance as shills include Dumb Dora,(Wheaties, ca. 1940, by Paul Fung) the Joys and Glooms,(Pepto-Bismol, 1938) Doings of the Duffs,(Jell-o, 1934, by Ben Batsford) and the Yellow Kid. (Ready-made fill-in the blanks series of ads, ca. 1910, by Outcault.)---Cole Johnson.
 

Hi Allan and Cole. No, it was NOT an one shot. Take a look at "Eccoci Ancora Qui" (I have sent the links for downloading the whole 704 page book to PlatinumAgeComics and Comic Strip Classics; see posts "Late Xmas Present from Alfredo Castelli") and you'll find a different sample at page 191 (book 03).
If you need the links for you blog, Allan, feel free to copy them

Other retired strips that resurrected as ads were The Newlyweds (Minit Rub - Drawn by an unknown artist in a style totally different from McManus', but with the same characters, see EAQ page 408); Jerry on the Job (Grape Nut Flakes, Walter Hoban, 1938; the haracter was revived again ias a regular series in 1946). Yellow Kid was featured (with pants) in advertising booklets from Graham's garden tools published in 1915 (see EAQ page 561)
Best, Alfredo
 

Hi Alfredo -
Am I understanding you correctly that you wish me to publish the links to the downloadable book here on the blog? If so I will be happy to do so. I think anyone that visits this blog would be thrilled to have access to it, but I assumed you wanted to restrict access to the CSC group.

--Allan
 

LINKS to "HERE WE ARE AGAIN!"
Hi Allan,
Sure, if you think that "Eccoci ancora qui" may be of interest to the readers of "Stripper's Guide", I'll be very happy if you publish the links to download it. The book is copmplete, 704 pages, in Italian but with about 5,000 (Five thousand!) illustrations.
Best - Alfredo
 

Hi Allan,

Here is all the listings for True Comics in Jerry Bails' Who's Who (http://www.bailsprojects.com/). Hopefully it may give some hints.
