Count Screwloose - THE KILLROYS #5

This time Milt Gross' feature in THE KILLROYS is "Count Screwloose", which originally had been a newspaper comic strip. The American Comics Group also published a Count Screwloose comic book in this period.

COUNT SCREWLOOSE - THE KILROYS #5 And #7

Milt Gross was a famous cartoonist, and COUNT SCREWLOOSE was a famous newspaper comic strip. But after his retirement, he did some more work for the American Comics Group. It was he who began the Moronica series in THE KILLROYS. He did some Count Screwloose stories for the same title in the same period.

Moronica - THE KILLROYS #10

Milt Gross drew Moronica again for the tenth issue of THE KILLROYS, but I don't think he drew the feature again after that. Moronica would return to the comic book , but when she came back, she would be drawn by Owen Fitzgerald.

THE KILLROYS #10 was originally published in July 1948.

Moronica - THE KILROYS #8

Moronica was originally drawn by Milt Gross, who had previously been drawing "Count Screwloose" for THE KILROYS. Count Screwloose at one time had been a newspaper comic strip, and Milt Gross had been one of the most famous cartoonists of his day. He did a little work for these comic books after his retirement from newspaper comics.

THE KILROYS #8 was originally published in May 1948.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cans say "dog food", but it's a little hard to read. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think the business with the pruning shears on the last page was funny, but there was a lot of what was supposed to be humorous violence in these comics, so I guess I can see how it was intended to be funny at the time.
