Mrs. Smith has a new hairstyle in the February 2nd comic. Apparently she’s growing bullrushes in her living room. Mr. Ranger is called “Bill” (as in “Hanna”) this time around. This toned comic was supplied by Richard Holliss from his collection.
Ranger Smith is a friend of little birdies in panel 2 in the February 9th comic. The smarter-than-the-average dentist has figured out an inventive way to pull a tooth.
The February 16th column not only includes Yogi rhymes but backgrounds that must have taken some time to draw and ink.
I still don’t understand why a park has a general, but the general has a dog in the February 22nd comic. For the second time this month, Yogi is making money (though in this comic, I suspect he ends up losing).

Wow! Ed Benedict and Gene Hazelton were still there! (too bad , obviously, not at the studio doing character design by then..) SC
DeleteI wonder if the dog in the February 22nd comic served as the namesake for...you know, the spunky little dog whose name must not be spoken.
ReplyDeleteAnd his bigger cousin's name must not be spoken,either.
DeleteWhere IS the dog whose name must not be spoken, in cartoons or other media?
DeleteSensitive subject. Yowp doesn't like to talk about it.
DeleteScrappy-Doo and Scooby-Dum.
DeleteYowp doesn't even like to talk about Scooby Doo himself.
