This Little Golden Book Belongs to . . . Ernie! Thanks, Ernie, wherever you are! The Little Golden Books from the 1940s, 50s, and into the 1960s; featured many of the same artists that were prominent in animation and comic books. Case in point: This Ruff and Reddy (Hanna-Barbera) story from 1959 featured writing by Ann McGovern - with glorious artwork by Harvey Eisenberg and Al White.
That is some fantastic artwork, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKevin: My pleasure and then some. Those Little Golden Books really had some tremendous stuff. I have a nice vintage collection of them and hope to share them from time to time.
ReplyDeleteFan-freakin'-tastic, Mykal!
ReplyDeleteNot only do I love these old Golden Books, but this particular example caused the "penny to drop" on a project I am currently struggling with. Or, I should say, WAS struggling with!
Thanks Harvey and Al!
Bill: To early to share details?
ReplyDeleteIsn't this book great! I love the heck out of this vintage of Little Golden Books, and there's a bunch more from the collection where that came from.
If this was helpful to you on a project, I'm thrilled!
It WAS helpful, and yes, it is too soon to share details. No worries though, when the time is right you will be one of the first to know...
ReplyDeleteOK!
ReplyDeleteI love the Little Golden Books! I was trying to collect them for a while, but the copies I found were always very, very loved. Looking forward to seeing some more from your collection!
ReplyDeleteJacque: Most from my collection, including this little gem, are in the same condition you describe (much, much loved). I do my best to restore them to original look and vibrancy. Often, as with this one, the covers are beyond help, but the interior pages, when not scribbled on too extensively in crayon or pencil, are in decent shape.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot more! Thanks for tuning in!
I'm glad to see you have mixed in a Little Golden Book with your usual fine kids' comics. I haven't seen this book before, but I see a lot of L.G.B.'s in thrift stores ("well loved" as you and Jacque Nodell call them). It's always a treat to find a cool one like this. Thanks for sharing, friend.
ReplyDeletePappy: My pleasure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very cute book! Ruff and Reddy are adorable; I liked how they helped all those people and the way the professor rewarded them with that motor-scooter in the end. :)
