There’s some fun (and rare) stuff on display over at the Fabuleous Fifties today as Ger shares some advertising comic strips from the mid-fifties featuring Edgar Bergen’s wooden-headed friends, Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd shilling for their long-time sponsor, Chase and Sanborn Coffee.

The ever-delightful Groovy Agent presents a rare Frank Miller cosmic outing-a 1980 Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) story written by Mike Barr and inked by the under-rated Bruce D. Patterson who gives a whole new, practically unrecognizable feel to the street-savvy Miller.

Checking in with Pappy, we find that distinguished old gentleman keeping time today with Good Girl Artist Matt Baker’s Canteen Kate back-up feature from the early 1950′s.

Finally today, it’s been awhile since we plugged Thom Buchanan’s Whirled of Kelly blog but nothing’s changed. It still offers a more-or-less daily dose of Walt Kelly’s classic Pogo strip, reprinted in full color from the original newsapaper clippings lovingly kept all these years by Thom! It’s a daily must stop for me and hopefully you, too!
