Independence Day Special
I first posted this page on July 4 2011, but I thought it was time to repost it with a key to the characters.That may seem like a simplistic addition, but since World Color Printing's comic section at the time was mostly just a collection of very similar 'bad kid' comics, and the artwork of the bullpenners was pretty basic, it took me some time to figure out. Below is the 'keyed' version. For the record, here are the creators of each strip:
Dreamy Dave by C.H. Wellington
Mr. Pest Book Agent by Dink Shannon
Cousin Bud by Johnny Gruelle
Grandma's Girl by C.H. Wellington
Peter Barnum Botts by John E. Bernier
Do You Remember Your Kid Days by Ed Goewey
Sammy Small by Dink Shannon
I have no idea which strip or artist is associated with the pretty girl on the right.
