CHARLES DICKENS DEPT.

COMICS WITH PROBLEMS #47:

Fear of a Dead Newspaper - Holiday Edition (December 2011)

Three holiday items concerning the pre-emptive mourning of one of our favorite things, Printed News.

Item Number one:
"Let's Read the Newspaper" (1974) with Quincy

press

Very obscure and undocumented educational comic on newspaper production. No known existing copies in libraries or elsewhere.

Lovely printing press porn abounds in Ted Shearer's ode to the ol' ink and roll.

(Fear of a Dead News Organization)


Item Number two,
Special Supplement:
"Selling GRIT in 1959 and in 1977"

GRIT

It's a door ... It's a different door! It's a pipe ... It's not a pipe!

Amusing race-related corrections and vernacular shifts found when one compares and overlays an identical GRIT comic book from 1959 with its revised edition, from 1977.

(Fear of a Dead Newspaper Delivery Job)


Item Number three:
1972 Kenner Toy Catalog! (newspaper insert)

Tons of eyeball entertainment — Wonderful printed pages of Blythe Doll comics, Easy Bake Ovens, Play Doh, and more.

(Fear of a Dead Newspaper Toy Insert!)


¡Happy holidays from Comics with Problems!
