A Beginning of 2024 Review of Stuff
Some reviews by me of things that you probably have all bought by now if you've got my obsessions... If I'm missing anything notable it's because I've yet to snag a copy due to my current limited (and already way over-stretched) purchasing powers as an MLS grad student, but I certainly will be purchasing A LOT MORE eventually!
1. Flip the Frog- The Complete Series---Who here hasn't bought this yet though? This set is possibly Thunderbean's best work and is a labor of love for Steve Stanchfield and David Gerstein. With every cartoon perfectly restored, who would pass this up? I cannot recommend this enough! Available at The Thunderbean Shop website or Amazon if that's what you prefer.
2. Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volumes 1 and 2-- Jerry Beck and George Feltenstein always put out incredible stuff. Both volumes include 20 or more classic Warner Bros Cartoons and is a wonderful buy for anyone who loves these cartoons.
4. Meet Jerry: My Life, My Adventure-- Jerry Eisenberg is an incredible artist who I've always admired. I've been lucky enough to meet Jerry on several occasions and interview him several other times for various projects. This book features an incredible amount of new and exciting information also on Jerry Eisenberg's dad Harvey who I consider to be one of the greatest and most underrated artists in the history of comics. The book is a very limited edition and is available exclusively through Stuart NG Books.
3. Advertising Anarchy! Selling Bud Abbott & Lou Costello To War-Torn America-- An ultimate labor of love for comedy expert Rick Greene! This book is a must have on any bookshelf for anyone who is a fan of Abbott & Costello. The price may seem a bit steep at first but it's an ultimate collection of over 700 pages worth of material. Worth every cent.
5. Disney Comics Around the World--- Once again, David Gerstein brings out another perfect collection of Disney comic books that is a must have for anybody interested. This time, a Target exclusive!
6. The Puppetoon Movie Volume 3--- Once again, a classic collection that everybody should've bought by now. This perfect collection includes more Puppetoons curated by Arnold Leibovit.
8. Ray Harryhausen: Special Edition Collection--Available wherever you're Blu-Rays are sold is a new collection of Ray Harryhausen films. While all the contents have been released on other collections, this new collection combines eight great Harryhausen films into one box set and is filled with incredible bonuses features including commentaries and documentary bonuses. The set is region-free.

Today's Post: The 1964 World's Fair Documentary and other 64 World's Fair stuff
This documentary is quite good. Most of you have probably already seen it, but I'm sharing it here anyways.
While I'm add it, why not share some other great World's Fair stuff!
Here is the actual World's fair show from the Disneyland TV show...
This is one of my favorite comic books. Artistically it's one of the best HB comic books ever.

Mr. Jinks and Boo Boo? Sure Why Not!
Now these two characters were paired together in this record and this coloring book but their connection pretty much stops at the cover. Why they were paired in one title I don't know, neat though! Hanna-Barbera did other odd parings too such as comics like Huckleberry Hound and Yakky Doodle which I suppose was due to Yakky being added to the Huck syndication package when it started reruning on local stations.
You're seeing missing links because Blogger is willing to let me add them. Google is making this service more and more difficult each time I post it seems
The Record can be bought for as low as ten dollars here
I gotta give credit and a plug here...There is a great website about early coloring books called Retroreprints losts of great photos of coloring books there. I'm using their photo here. Unlike the record, I don't own this one.
