| It is interesting that the Kar Toon and His Copy Cat story is reprinted from Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1. There may be some connection as the publishers address are nearly identical and the names are very close as MPFW is by First Funnies Inc. and this is from Funnies Inc. |

| This has to be my most favorite obscure comic book ever! It's very rare to find not only a completed title but also a completed Publisher!
Thank-you,

| I am so excited to find your downloads as I am compiling all of the work I can find for my husband's father, George Kapitan. We are very grateful to have found your site. My husband had his father's personal copy but unfortunately a family member got a hold of it and sold it this past year. I have purchased a few of his works but the electronic copies are lovely too. Keep up the good work! Michelle & Greg Kapitan |
