Remember Dynabrite? There were some thick horizontal comics reprinting Popeye and Blondie newspaper comic strips in the late '60s/early '70s which sold for 29ยข. (I found the Popeye in a K-Mart toy department circa 1969, and still have it.) The relative scarcity of the one you showed may be because it might have been test marketed in selected areas of the country to see how it sold. Or it could have only been available in toy stores or on the racks with Golden or Tell-A-Tale books. If I'd seen it I probably would remember it or even bought it, because then, as now, I liked odd formats for comics.<br /><br />...and I remember Quick Draw McGraw well. He was my favorite of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons. "El Kabong!" "I'll do the thinnin' 'round here, Baba boy!" I still do my half-baked vocal imitation occasionally.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-55360756708295202962010-06-09T18:29:27.908-05:002010-06-09T18:29:27.908-05:00Thanks for stopping by Mr Pick!Thanks for stopping by Mr Pick!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-2690389288213634062010-06-09T17:57:07.361-05:002010-06-09T17:57:07.361-05:00I don't even remember Snooper and Blabber as a...I don't even remember Snooper and Blabber as a cartoon - though I was very fond of Quickdraw McGraw in my younger days.
