Yesterday was a gloomy, drizzly day here in South Florida. Looking for a ray of sunshine, I naturallly went through my collection of Howie Post stories. This one, "The Disappearing Water," has a mad dash of science fiction thrown in for good measure. It comes from Spooky No. 93, August 1966.
any time is a good time for some Howie Post story and art. It's interesting how well he illustrates the first chapter, which is mostly dialogue and set up material for the rest of the story. Fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteA Howie Post post brightens everyone's day, Mykal!
ReplyDeleteHey, guys: I love how nearly everyone feels the same about the late, great Mr. Post! He's one of those completely joyous cartoonists that everyone loves.
ReplyDeleteGhosts, Giants, & Robots ! This one left me thoisty fer more. Our country could use a good Water conservation plan to unwet the Mid-Land's whistle, and quench the South & West drought regions. More Post posts, please.
ReplyDeleteLysdexicuss: Per your request, I think I'll to a followup Post post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Spooky story. I started reading comics with Spooky - none of that sissy Casper stuff for me. The one story that sticks out in my memory was Spooky in Pin Cushion Land (or something like that). My mom read that story to me while I was in bed with a severe case of bronchial asthma. I reread it until the comic fell apart. If you ever come across that Spooky story, could you post it? Thanks again for posting Spooky
ReplyDeleteBookman: What a cool mom! Reading you a Spooky story while in your sickbed. I love that.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I have the story you mention, but if I can find it, I'll post it!
Harvey! Thet's muh favert. Always them skies are yeller and them stories are fun, yet there's an underlying nightmare aspect to them.
ReplyDeleteKW: That's the enchanted forest!
