V. T. Hamlin’s Dinosaurs: Dinny’s Family Album in Color!

By on
I found this blog, which highlights Hamlin's Sunday work where he provided a write-up and drawing of dinosaurs. Back in the 1930's, Sunday comic strips were an entire page. The artist often produced a separate strip, called a "topper", which was about the size that most Sunday strips are produced today. For example, if you read "Barney Google", you would see "Bunky" or "Mickey Mouse", "Silly Symphonies" or "The Medieval Castle" on "Prince Valiant". Hamlin did something a little bit different as his were usually a really large panel cut out from the rest of the page. For a time this feature was called "Dinny's Family Album".


If you go to the blog at https://marswillsendnomore.wordpress.com/2012/06/11/v-t-hamlins-dinosaurs-dinnys-family-album/, you can see examples of this feature.

Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 23 “Alley Oop Space Rebel” - "DEAD ASSASSINS" Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 23 “Alley Oop Space Rebel” (923) 4/3/2020 Friday "DEAD ASSASSINS" Parsecs away the super aggregate Lumbagan known as Am al-gum is worried. He notices there has been a major change in the current parameters of what is. When he combined they became one, and developed whole new levels of abilities and senses. Among them is the probability wave connected to the quantum underpinning of all that is. He has felt it and knows it is a major happening and yet with his boosted intelligence he has yet to figure it all out. But he does know a few things. Just as when the Haterakans suddenly attacked the mighty Terran Empire, whatever this is has that same level of possible change to most everything. This and other such abilities are useful, but only once he masters them. If he misreads he could possibly die. Lumbagans are tough customers and can simply re...

It is hard to believe but we have started the sixth year of the Jonathan Lemon - Alison Sayers team-up, which I affectionately call "Lemsay". Back on January 7, 2019, the first daily from this team appeared. It wasn't like the Benders, Jack and Carole, had set the world on fire with their plodding story lines, labored dialog, and artwork that became noticeably worse every day.  Fans thought that the strip could not get any worse but nobody knew exactly what to expect whne the Benders retired. The very first strip showed that things weren't going to be  anything like what long-time fans were hoping to see. The first panel (below) showed a poorly drawn  Oop laying under a tree that looked more like a modern era tree than anything like the swampy trees that had previously populated the Bone Age. We soon found out that Oop had been sleeping and had awakened in an alternate universe, a universe where the only difference is that this universe has no tacos. Hilarious, right...
