Uncle Funny Bunny And Chumpy

-

 



All right, you have just seen five examples of some of the worst art and writing ever put into a comic strip.  This stuff is so bad many sites are claiming it's the worst strip ever written.  (not true, that honor belongs to Doonesbury).  The only thing missing from Uncle Funny Bunny is the 'flip take', as seen in the example of the amazingly bad Jerry On The Job:

Jerry was the creation of Walter Hoban.


Funny Bunny doesn't use flip takes, it uses The Rabbit's Stupid Expression.


Shocking the monkey.


Chumpy attends a school with humans.  This is as obscure a comic as they come, I can find nothing on it or on Jack Pierce.  Uncle Funny Bunny ran in Weekly Reader during the fifties as did - 


Abomination.  Loki either has an invisible chair or a horrifying spine condition.


I see Weekly Reader was still pushing the concept of desegregation between humans and talking animals as late as '73.


I found this postcard from the fifties while trying to research Uncle Funny Bunny.  It has nothing to do with that strip, but the art and approach puts it into the same category.  This slightly off color 'joke' happens to be dead on as far as our government goes.

This post was suggested to me by skoshi8 on DeviantArt, all complaints should be directed to him.  He discovered this comic and one just couldn't find something more forgotten.

This has been a Retro Rabbit presentation.

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
