The Adventures of Bosko in Comics

Bosko had already left Warner Bros. when Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising, through Hugh’s brother Fred, syndicated a Bosko comic in newspapers.

They are certainly well drawn and I like the how-to-make-cartoons panel.

This is only a smattering of them. The series went into the end of October with a prolonged story about Bosko going big-game hunting in Africa and meeting with some cannibals. These are from May 6, 13, 20, 27, 30, June 4, 10 and 15, 1934.



Next Oct. 8, 9, 10, 17, 22, 24, 26, 29, 30 and 31.



And Nov. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 16.

    These are terrific! I'll bet they inspired a lot of budding young cartoonists. I wonder who composed the rhyming verse? Apart from a tendency to scan diphthongs as two syllables, it's really quite well written!

      Paul, Devon Baxter told me today that Bill Hanna wrote them and Bob Allen drew them.
