Santa Sends for Help

Some time ago, OtherEric, of the Digital Comic Museum, sent over another issue of The Adventures of Peter Wheat, and I'm just now getting around to cleaning and tweaking the scans. I appreciate OtherEric's patience when that happens. He works so hard tracking down rare issues and scanning and sending, and then I just seem to dawdle around with 'em.

This is issue #21, and you may think it's a little early for a Christmas number, but if you'll look closely at the opening narration box, it says "The Christmas SEASON is approaching", and that's SORta now.

Thanks again Eric!

I jes' love to zoom in and look closer at Kelly art, i.e. the panels below:

The panel below 'freezes' the action so perfectly:

Justice At All Costs

Well, we skipped a Sunday here, cuz it was already posted back to'ard the end of July, cuz it had nothin' to do with this storyline, as this storyline races ahead with A-bandon.

All Kinds Laws

Yep, the story is still amblin' and ramblin' on. Keep toonin' in.

One of the Greatest Cartoonists Ever

A tip of the hat to Kip for a Walt Kelly alert, even though I had already clipped and scanned this strip from yesterday's paper (yes, I still read a newsPAPER). I still read the comics, even though I shake my head at some of em, but Pearls Before Swine is definitely one of the better ones for comic content (yes, even his shaggy pig puns).

Mr. Pastis, if you ever 'toon in here, cheers to you. Long live Kelly!

A Indentured Servant

A old tried, true and tested joke for Kelly, at least once performed with a egg, back in the strip's younger days.

PDQ!

The continuity is saved, thanks to Jerry Keslensky, who sent over this jpeg of the missing Sunday strip. It's a photo of the original art, and boy, Grundoon is welcome any ol' time.

Jerry sends 'thanks for all you do to keep Kelly's work alive'. Well thank you Jerry and all others who have sent over contributions of material. Some of those contributions have been waiting in the wings for a WAY long time. But they will be forthcoming, I just need to catch up with life.

And thanks to everyone who 'toons in to the Whirled of Kelly!

Shootin' Dice an' Smokin' Mary-Wanna

I feel just awful in telling you that I seem to be missing the Sunday strip between this one and the last post. I really think I have it somewhere, but it is so mislaid. Argh and rowrbazzle, sorry about that.
