1951 Popular Comics Holiday Card – Blondie

andertoons1 Comment

A few months back I managed to snatch up some really neat holiday greeting cards from 1951.  It's just some tremendous art, so I thought I'd put one card up a day (Mondays through Thursdays) all month long.

OK, here's the first card!  A season's greetings from Chic Young and the Bumsteads.

Enjoy!

BTW, at the end of the month I'll have 'em all up on Flickr for your close-up enjoyment.

You Know It’s Almost Christmas When…

…I start getting comments about my 2004 review of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.

Not too bad so far:

Just reading these blogs for the first time while looking for the DVD version of Magoo's Christmas. It's my favorite and I'm approaching 58 years old. When young Ebenezer sings "I'm All Alone in the World" it still brings tears to my eyes. Clever lyrics, i.e., "Where are two shoes to click to my clack . . . " Can't beat it. Will always be a favorite of mine, but to each his own. God bless us, everyone!

But soon there'll be more like this:

Anderson you're a pompous fool. Every boomer alive knows this is the best animated Christmas classic ever made. Of course the repeats of "razzleberry" make us cringe, but it sticks in our brains like all genius product marketing jingles. If you don't see the joy here, you grew up too fast. So sad for you. Time to go back to school, relive your childhood like Magoo did, and btw, learn to draw.

Happy Holidays indeed!
