Count Screwloose - THE KILROYS #7

COUNT SCREWLOOSE was originally a newspaper comic strip. But after he retired, it was one of the comics that Milt Gross did for the comic books, in this case THE KILROYS.

Moronica - THE KILROYS 23, 24, 25

Moronica's adventures return to THE KILLROYS in 1950. Here are the Moronica stories from issues 23, 24, and 25.

The Moronica series began at the American Comics Group, went to Better/Standard/Nedor/Pines, and then returned to the ACG. But it seems it was all the same company. You can read about it in ALTER EGO 61, a preview of which can be seen at http://twomorrows.com/media/AlterEgo61Preview.pdf

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jack Benny was a popular comedian at the time. His act centered around his supposedly being a rich miser.

 

 

 

Dog food again. This was something that was in the Milt Gross version.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This story is also like the last one, where a woman ate a dog biscuit and then acted like a dog.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This one is sort of like Starlet O'Hara.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note the title of the comic book Moronica is reading.

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.
