"The Moose Hunt", Frankenstein #9 (1947)

I've decided to follow Gabriel's lead and start a new blog for my own cartooning, and keep this blog just to feature stories by the comic book greats that inspired me. So don't be surprised if my already sparse commentary gets even more abridged. The stories should be the main thing, anyway. The new site is here: The Eye of Mongomblog

So with that, here is some more of the great Dick Briefer..."The Moose Hunt" from Frankenstein #9 (Sept-Oct 1947):

Another Superkatt by Dan Gordon

Have another helping of some good ol' Dan Gordon funnies!

I love how Superkatt and the other animals assume that super-powers come from costumes...and of course those "costumes" are basically just human clothes. I wonder if Gordon was consciously spoofing the fetishistic qualities of superhero costumes, when he decided to have Superkatt dress up as a big baby? In this issue, though, Our Hero takes a break from his infantilism to indulge in a little cross-dressing. Enjoy, kids!

Gordon's expressive characters are always a joy to see. Everyone is so anxious or angry all the time. Junior's expression and pose in the first panel of page four just kills me!

Here is Superkatt from Giggle Comics #27 (March 1946):
