The Interregnum (basically V-J Day to the Comics Code) was apparently when the medium diversified. But a LOT of genres were impossible afterward. What's left, superheroes, some lighthearted comedy, and slice of life books like Archie, was all that was left. Which is why my manga collection is more diverse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-48060517016887450132020-09-22T10:02:10.438-04:002020-09-22T10:02:10.438-04:00I imagine that the dog has human teeth because tha...I imagine that the dog has human teeth because that's the only way they could depict a recognizeable smile in a small icon.NYSocBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658785942817017972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-79396963933184841582020-09-22T09:20:21.713-04:002020-09-22T09:20:21.713-04:00Interesting to see marketing in the pre television...Interesting to see marketing in the pre television age- and yeah I guess you are right shirtless men always sell even boring shoesJP Aragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664852451815214352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-74041945042018250482020-09-22T09:05:40.998-04:002020-09-22T09:05:40.998-04:00What I find interesting, for censorship reasons, i...What I find interesting, for censorship reasons, is that they actually showed him naked on the cover of the swimming one. Mostly because the men of my generation are even-split on nudity, with half being the type to chill even a shared apartment naked, and the other half shower in trunks. (Insert Hajime no Ippo "bare naked" reference here.)<br /><br />I also like how very Interregnum the art is, cartoon lightning bolts to represent magic.<br /><br />Why does the dog have human teeth? And the dog smiles.<br /><br />I'm going to guess these don't have any established canon, just a collection of unrelated stories the way a lot of pre-Silver Age comics were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-42079728194670617262018-12-19T20:28:21.265-05:002018-12-19T20:28:21.265-05:00There was also a 1905 broadway play based on the s...There was also a 1905 broadway play based on the strip, also called "Buster Brown".Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451579767804008801noreply@blogger.com
