| Somewhat above average good-girl art in this one, as well as a lot of photos of Hollywood starlets of the era (1949). Some sources claim "Posner Murry" (who did a lot of the better cartoons here) is an alias for Disney artist Paul Murry (https://whosoutthere.ca/2022/08/31/purr-for-paul-murry/) but since the title page also credits "George Posner" (another real person), perhaps Posner and Murry collaborated on these cartoons.
This is a product of the Charlton factory. |
|
| George Posner worked with a couple of other artists, so you'll see credits for Posner Cherry (John Cherry?), Posner Metcalfe, and Posner Walsh. I'm assuming he's the gag writer, with the other name referring to the artist, but I'm not sure. |
|
| Good point, SuperScrounge! I notice the credits box says "Gags and cartoons" so it makes sense Posner was the writer and Murry was the artist. |
|
| I hope the books advertised at the back are sent in plain brown paper |
