I finished Looney Tunes issue #11 this weekend and started in on #12 since MichaelMink will be in New Jersey and away from his collection of issues for much of the week. Since I won't be able to ask him to refer to that collection if I have any questions, I decided I'd work on an issue not in his collection anyway.

But while the 1995 stuff is a break from ( Read more... )

I made my roughly monthly trip to Sioux Falls today and picked up, amongst other things, the latest Looney Tunes comic. After going to my regular comics store, I made my way to another. I thought the place had closed a few years ago, but it turns out they just moved across town and I didn't find out until someone connected with the Siouxland ( Read more... )

While working on COLT I noticed an oddity. It looks like Warner Bros. is trying to name, or perhaps rename, a character.

The little chick that Foghorn Leghorn tried to teach sports and such to, rather than have the boy read (and read things like Splitting the Fourth Dimension) was in a whole three cartoons. In those cartoons he was only called ( Read more... )

I took a few comics issues along with me to Houston, figuring maybe I'd have time to make a little progress on a couple. I made more progress than I expected and so in the last week or two managed to finish up the year 2000 stuff. So 2003 was done in December (rather than in April) and 2000 is done now (rather than September). I didn't expect to ( Read more... )

I had hoped I might be able to get all the 2003 Looney Tunes comics written up for COLT but didn't expect to make it. Last night I finished issue #107, Dec 2003. So now I have 2003 done, and it isn't quite 2004 yet. Success!

Morning drive

The drive to work was a bit more exciting than I cared for. Bixby road is patchy - some dry pavement, some packed snow or ice. That isn't bad, really. But there was a drift across an icy area and that messes things up. It had messed someone else up, as evidenced by the small red hatchback that had slid off the road and was aimed the ( Read more... )

Last April I wrote how I seem to fall behind in COLT stuff every summer. There were a couple entries about it, such as this one. One other thing came to mind recently as I resumed the effort (at least I've resumed in late November & December rather than April this time) as not helping: The lack of any actual schedule other than "Try to keep up and ( Read more... )

Didn't do much with/for COLT last week. Nor all that much this weekend. I had planned to get more done with it but somehow I just didn't get 'into' it. I seem to have that each summer. Maybe it's a heat thing. Jay, of course, doesn't claim heat exists until it reaches levels I consider bordering on lethal. Maybe I need to see about doing more ( Read more... )

Recall the Looney Puzzler?

Well, it is two characters. Or one and a part of one. Those things that look like ears but don't fit any character... are not ears at all.

michaelmink prodded me into seeing if I could contact penciller David Alvarez about an unidentified character in issue #100. While I was at it, I asked if he had pencilled that earlier cover ( Read more... )

A walk in the park

Saturday was a nice day, so after lunch I suggested a walk in Cedar Creek Park. This park is not a small park in a city. Instead it is a large park at the edge of town. It's big enough to seem "out in the country" to me. We probably should have just walked a the short loop up near the parking lot, but didn't. Instead we took a ( Read more... )
