Gordo?
« on: November 18, 2019, 10:22:48 AM »
Hi all,

As a big fan of Gus Arriola's Gordo, I finally broke down and bought myself a copy of this -- St.John's Comics Revue vol.1 No.5, exclusively featuring Gordo! Outside of a series of 1-to-5 page appearances in Tip-Top Comics, this is Gordo's only comic book incarnation. It's all reprints of the daily and Sunday strips from the newspapers. I'd love to scan and share it, but ... can I?

Comics Revue 1-4 are currently on the site, covering Ella Cinders (#1), Hap Hopper (#2), Iron Vic (#3) and Ella Cinders again (#4). What's the opinion on scanning and uploading Gordo to that set?

Thanks in advance!
-Jon

Hmm.  I'm not sure at all.
Please hang on until we can get back to you.

Hi CJ,
Thanks for your offer but I don't think we can share it here.
But I'm told CB Plus has a United Features section and you can likely share it with them.

Thanks for reaching out with it!  Always nice to see new scans when possible.

Sorry this did not work out. I read Gordo in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch growing up.

Lets see what CJ decides.  It might yet appear on CB+
I hope so!

Sorry to hear that it won't find a home here but I understand and, yes, I will definitely scan and share it over on CB+. I'll drop a line as soon as it's available -- thanks for checking for me, I appreciate it.

Cheers!

That looks fantastic, Jon. How long did it take you to make it?

Not long, actually. We have a bulk flatbed scanner at work, so I was able to get the page spreads copied at high res without investing too much time. Editing probably took an hour just to even the color and exposure in photoshop. It was definitely a lot easier than my first scan (a Fawcett's Funny Animals that I did on an 8.5"x11" flatbed that only went up to 300dpi  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Sounds like you had an ideal scanner for the job Jon.  That's gotta be a big help.
Thanks again for doing the work and saving another book for posterity.
