Tawky Tawny

Tawky Tawny, Captain Marvel.  Furry before there was a name for it.


C. C. Beck, artist.  This is One Dapper Tiger!


Adam and Eve were only naked after they tasted the Forbidden Fruit.  


Ron Goulart said that he had no problems with Captain Marvel but a talking tiger was unrealistic!
All In Color For A Dime, 1969.


I am surprised he ever had any.


Of the three of them, only Tawky has a sense of style.


Metaphor, anyone?


A tiger has a lot of nerve saying something like this.  And ain't he from India?


Ahead of his time.


Since Captain M. is not retarded this must be a dream sequence.

Now this is just weird!  But hey! -
'Hoppy is a pink rabbit who lives in the town of Funny Animalville, along with an assortment of other funny animal characters. As revealed in the origin story from Fawcett's Funny Animals #1, Hoppy is a fan of Captain Marvel. One day, he decides to emulate his hero and speaks the magic word "Shazam!" Surprisingly, the magic word transforms Hoppy into Captain Marvel Bunny'. -  Wikipedia.  Oh, Hell, while I'm at it:


Captain Black Bunny, by Chad Grothkopf.  He is the lapin equivalent of Black Adam, a pesky ancient Egyptian with super powers and really cool eyes.  Black Bunny was referenced in this -


Blackjack O'Hare of Rocket Raccoon fame.  This is the Black Bunny Brigade.


 Here at Mister Scribbles we keep our eyes on the goal, which is the bringing of Anthro Rabbits to the world.  Mr. Tawny is a great Furry creation, but now it is time to return to our roots.


Shazam, indeed!


All these Hoppy drawings are by Chad Grothkopf, who drew the first animated cartoon created for broadcast television, no one saw it as very few people had sets.  (Willie The Worm, Flescher Studios, 1938.)  Huge talent, I just now heard of this guy.

Willie The Worm from Funny Animals.


  Sic Transit Gloria Mundi!


Oh...I forgot what I was doing.   Remember Tawky?  This post is about Tawky.  On that note I'll leave these two back in the shadows of forgotten comics.  Captain Marvel et al. died when C. C. Beck quit drawing him, comic heroes give way to other toys.
Best of luck to the both of you, wherever you are.

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
