JUN074027
This issue takes a long look at Total Television, the studio that produced such animated classics as
Underdog and
Tennessee Tuxedo. Inside is an interview with a group of comics editors at top newspaper syndicates, pulling back the curtain on an aspect of the cartooning business that has mystified many. If you've ever wondered if your favorite comics character has ever puffed a cigarette, you should pick up this issue, which chronicles the long and very smoky history of tobacco use in the comics! Also chronicled is the tortured - and ultimately futile - life of one of Walt Disney's great disappointments: the unmade animated adaptation of
The Gremlins. If you've thought that everything Walt touched turned to gold, this article will convince you otherwise! The issue also launches into outer space with an interview with Tim Rickard, creator of the popular new comic strip
Brewster Rockit, Space Guy. Plus, the evolution of
Little Lulu; an interview with the versatile June Brigman, veteran comic book artist and the current artist on
Brenda Starr; and the life and work of Wally Wallgren, one of the best and most prolific cartoonists you've never heard of!
