| There was a listing for a different copy of this issue in the "Latest "Uploaded" Comics listed a couple days ago, which was found to be a failed upload, and the entry was removed yesterday. I was hoping it was attempted to be uploaded because it is a COMPLETE version, in significantly better condition. So, I hope it will be uploaded soon.
In answer to the artist credits question (which for this, particular issue, only listed JCA (Jason Comic Arts Studio)) for "Tick, Tack, & Toe", "Dopsy Durvey" was also drawn by JCA, "Spunky" was also drawn by JCA, "Neddy" was drawn by Al Fago, all 3 "Sniffy" gags were drawn by Milt Hammer, "Diggy The Derrick" was drawn by C.W. Winter, "Icicle Ike" was drawn by Al Fago, and "Johnny and Woof" was drawn by Al Fago.
In general, Novelty "Frisky Fables", and their stock stories printed in the continuation of that line at Star Publications, ans "Frisky Animals" by Star, were split between JCA and The Fago Studios, with work on "Sniffy" by comic strip artist, Milt Hammer. |
