Hi, Kids! I’ve missed you guys! Today we have a very nice Supermouse story on tap that I’m sure you’re going to enjoy.
Supermouse was created in 1942 by Kin Platt, an animator who had once worked for Terrytoons. Thus comes much speculation regarding Supermouse possibly being a forerunner for the much better remembered Mighty Mouse. Supes, as he was often called, was a charming creation in his own right, drawing his power from a bite of his “supercheese,” often supplied him by his ever-loyal girlfriend, Annabel.
Over the years, many great artists have put their stump on Supes, among them Gene Facette, Milt Stein, and Jack Bradbury. This story, however, is drawn and inked by the very prolific and always elegant Al Hubbard, who left his animating mark with nearly every major studio of the time, MGM, Walter Lanz, Warner Bros., and of course, Disney.
Today’s clever story was written by Richard Hughes and appeared in Coo Coo Comics No. 33 (May 1947).
Well, that's all for now, Kids! Coming up: Let’s do another story from Coo Coo Comics (1947) this time displaying the work of animation legend, Gil Turner!
I will see you all again very soon. Until then, I hope you are all warm, safe, and happy!
