And here's a book where the copy I got was brittle enough that I wanted to scan it before I even actually read it. Luckily it didn't shed as much as I feared:

Peter Wheat Fun Book now on the FTP.

Jon's quote from the Fort Mudge most suggests the Fun Book has some Kelly art; I don't think it really does other that possibly the head of Peter Wheat on the cover, which looks to be stock art. It does have a fair number of Kelly swipes, though- the art isn't by Hubbard either. It does look like something I would have found incredibly fun as a little kid, though- a comic story roughly running through a variety of games, puzzles, and projects. It's also the largest Peter Wheat item I've seen yet- close to magazine size on heavier paper and running a full 32 pages.

And since my current book of JVJ's is going slowly- I'll explain why when I post it- here's something else to look at:

Adventure of Peter Wheat #53 now on the FTP. Story by Del Connell, art by Al Hubbard.

It's easy to forget in this age of 6 or 12 issue decompressed epics that, back around 1950, 15 pages was a LOT for a story. And while Connell/ Hubbard weren't Kelly, I do think they did pretty well by his creation. Enjoy, and hopefully I'll have some another Kelly issue for us before too long.

Adventures of Peter Wheat #33 is now on the FTP, now that it's been posted at:

http://whirledofkelly.blogspot.com/

I heartily encourage any and all Kelly fans to go give it a look; it's a wonderful all Walt extravaganza!

Yoc · « **Reply #385 on:** December 27, 2009, 10:05:21 PM »

Thanks Eric and for the link as well!
The scan will go up soon.

Adventures of Peter Wheat #37 (at least, I'm 99% sure that's the issue number) now posted. This one is interesting; it's clearly Hubbard, but it's Hubbard trying very hard indeed to look like Kelly. To the point where I'm not 100% sure Kelly didn't have something to do with the issue. Let me know what people think, assuming anybody else has an opinion on the subject.

OtherEric · « **Reply #387 on:** January 01, 2010, 01:27:55 AM »

Adventures of Peter Wheat #40 now on the FTP as well. Once again, we see the Kelly influence more strongly than in the later issues, but not as much as in the #37. Enjoy.

Slightly neat credit for myself: Even though it's a few hours in my future, I've got the first covers added to the GCD in 2010!

Yoc · « **Reply #388 on:** January 01, 2010, 04:43:06 AM »

Congrats Eric!
If Narf could get these up that'd be great but if they aren't up in a bit I'l get them.
A stash of FH books from freddy is going up very soon from me.

Still think OtherEric needs to change his name to OtherPeter for making all these available. they are now up

OtherEric · « **Reply #390 on:** January 01, 2010, 07:04:06 AM »

Hey, everybody needs an obsession.

Thanks for moving these over from the FTP.

Yoc · « **Reply #391 on:** January 01, 2010, 04:53:29 PM »

Thanks Narf!

Yoc · « **Reply #392 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:57:41 PM »

The complete run of Juke Box Comics is now up!
Congrats Eric. You've rescued a very obscure comic from being lost forever.
And our thanks to Jim for sharing his collection!

"Well, I've got...two dollars in the Juke Box..."
"Brother Juke Box...Sister Wine...Mother Freedom...Father Time..."
"Don't rock the Juke Box...I wanna hear some Jones..."

Thanks, Eric.

And it's time for me to beat the drum for my particular obsession yet again:

Adventures of Peter Wheat 52 and 56 are now on the FTP. They're both Connell/ Hubbard issues; so they're "only" charming, well above average fantasy/ adventure stories rather than part of what may be the greatest lost classic of American comic books. (What, me? Strong opinions?

) This puts at us 1/3 of the Adventures run, minus a few damaged panels. Here's hoping we get to the 2/3 mark over the next year of looking. Who knows, maybe somebody else will actually find a few issues?

Yoc · « **Reply #395 on:** January 10, 2010, 06:42:30 PM »

Excellent work Eric!
Narf, could you add these to the site please?

Thanks!

narfstar · « **Reply #396 on:** January 10, 2010, 06:52:58 PM »

Got it now up

OtherEric · « **Reply #397 on:** January 10, 2010, 10:43:30 PM »

Thank you! (I really wish I could post books again and appreciate what you're doing more than ever.)

OtherEric · « **Reply #398 on:** April 16, 2010, 03:28:23 AM »

Jingle Jangle Comics 005 (incomplete) now ready for download. It's missing 6 of 60 pages, so still a lot of good stuff.

OtherEric · « **Reply #399 on:** May 04, 2010, 07:17:58 AM »

Now ready for download: Adventures of Peter Wheat 10 (incomplete)

This one is missing page 15; I found a very small scan of pg 16 so we can at least see how the story ends.

Even beyond the missing page this book was in bad shape; Yoc and Thom Buchanan from http://whirledofkelly.blogspot.com/ did an awesome job editing it into readable shape. It has some beautiful and rare Walt Kelly artwork so I think it's well worth the effort and I owe both of them a huge favor for their efforts! Everybody else, just enjoy.
