2 Political comics from the 60s
« on: December 16, 2012, 05:09:44 PM »

When I first started my comics collecting, my father gave me two political comics from the 60s to sell to build my collection.  Mind you, the dealer I sold them to, only gave me 10.00 for the pair, back in the early 80s.

I've wanted to repurchase these books, or, at least, get digital copies of them, as they are sentimental in my collecting life.

Problem is, I don't remember what they were called.

I had two, and they both had a "card stock" type cover that had a texture to it that reminded me of fabric.  The books were, I think, election propaganda, and had several presidents and candidates in them, amongst other political figures of the time.

They were not "Underground", and did not contain any "counter-culture" references.

I've scoured the internet looking for these things, and I haven't been able to even come up with a single clue, other than what I've already told you.

If you have ANY idea of what I am talking about, PLEASE let me know!  And, if you have any digital copies, PLEASE share them with me!!!!!

Thanks!

You want The Great Society, and Bobman and Teddy. Great Society is not hard to come by on ebay but it took me awhile to get Bobman and Teddy

I think that those might be it!  The pics I've seen show the covers to be made of that material that I mentioned, but, the cover illustrations and titles don't really  ring a bell.  I have to get one in hand to see for sure.  Or, at least, a scan...  Are those legal to upload?

Unfortunately they were copyright and are not PD. I have both and they do have the type of covers that you mention so I am pretty sure it is them.
