Friday’s THE FLYING FLICK!
Last Friday on the debut THE FRIDAY FLICK! there was a fun animated bit. This week it’s live action. Well, sorta. The part I really love about this Private Snuffy Smith movie is that the opening that shows drawings of Snuffy, Lowizie and The Sergeant that morph into the live action actors. The drawings ain’t exactly by the great Billy DeBeck who drew the comic adventures of Snuffy Smith and Barney Google for he funnies, but it’s still a good time! Oh, and D.J. David B., there’s a “Time’s A Wastin’ ” and a “Yardbirds” song that’s part of the festivities. After the movies I do have an unpublished drawing by DeBeck of Snuffy and Barney from my collection for your pleasure and a pic of DeBeck.

Say, isn’t that Jimmie Dodd as Pvt. Don Elbie? Not only did Jimmie speak the immortal line, “Why? Because we like you!” he wrote the Mickey Mouse March.
DJ David B. are you not a fount of arcane cartoon tune knowledge? What do you have coming up for Arf Lovers next Tuesday?!?
Read the comments on last Tuesday’s Dick Tracy post for a tease of what to expect next week. It’s a real treat!
Ah, who am I kidding? Nobody’s going to go back in the archives to read last Tuesday’s post. Here’s what it said…
Teaser from DJ David B: Coming up next Tuesday is a song by Herbert Butros Khaury, although Arf fans probably know him better by the stage name he shares with a comic strip character and a Christmas Carol character.
