Title: Turkey Day Post by: brad.ricca on November 22, 2006, 11:28:46 AM Hi all:
I just posted this 1933 Thanksgiving cartoon on my blog that Joe Shuster did for his high school newspaper, The Torch, essentially 73 years ago today (the day before Thanksgiving). Not strictly Superman (more like Ollie Hardy) but thought it would be nice to see it re-appear on the same day, so many years later. Happy Thanksgiving, Brad (http://www.greendoorfilms.com/turkey.jpg) BR www.lastson.greendoorfilms.com blog: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=77456264&MyToken=dd89fbdf-8e55-4472-9c1c-8124fbe78e97ML Title: Re: Turkey Day Post by: Super Monkey on November 22, 2006, 04:23:04 PM Superman's creators are always related!
Thank you for that comic, I never seen it before and happy turkey day! ;D Title: Re: Turkey Day Post by: MatterEaterLad on November 22, 2006, 04:45:58 PM That's a cool cartoon, shows lots of Joe and how he drew children...

That's what I thought but I could be wrong.
If I am right, well that's just downright un-American! Title: Re: Turkey Day Post by: brad.ricca on November 22, 2006, 11:50:46 PM Thanks -- glad everyone liked it. I think this little cartoon says a lot about Joe's personality, too. Has that little spark of fun in it that his Superman does. I'll post more soon.
And I COMPLETELY agree -- no Superman float is just wrong. I thought for sure with everything going on this year they would finally make a new one, but I guess not. Maybe we'll have to wait until the SuperGrover one gets retired... Happy Thanksgiving, Brad Title: Re: Turkey Day Post by: brad.ricca on November 23, 2006, 12:08:06 AM I really liked that float picture so I dug through some stuff to find this one, which is actually from a film I have. See who's coming up behind him? :)
