Tawky And Hoppy

-




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 Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible! Photos by Steve Davis. The man who killed them.  Sheriff.  Regulator. Murderer. https://books.google.com/books?id=PUvanZiwzdUC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=john+and+crockett+choate+death+jack+hel...

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...
