Wanted: Peter Wheat
JVJ (RIP):
Eric,
it's not Peter Wheat but it IS Walt Kelly. Do you have a copy of "The Mechanics of English"? It was published as EM 101 by the United States Armed Forces Institute in 1944. It's exactly what it says it is, a 237 page digest -sized book on how to speak and use the English language. Mainly text, but scattered throughout it is "Illustrated by Walter C. Kelley, Jr." - which isn't spelled correctly, but IS our Walt Kelly.
Peace, Jim (|:{>
narfstar:
Gee Jim don't you think Eric is going wild trying to find all the PW without you giving him one more thing to hunt down ???
OtherEric:
No, I don't, Jim. It sounds interesting, though.
And more stuff to hunt down isn't bad, Narf. The issue is even finding Peter Wheat at all; other Kelly material is still out there to get.
JVJ (RIP):
You really think I would have tortured him with this if I didn't have a copy for him, narf?
You must really think I am a mean guy.
$20 plus shipping (whatever you want - probably could go First Class for less than $4, Media for less than $2), Eric,
but you can probably find it somewhere else cheaper.
Peace, Jim (|:{>

I actually expected as much Jim but the little beasty in me enjoyed the short period of time thinking of Eric salavating over the thoughts of hunting out another Kelly. You have of course often left me painfully returning comics that have cried out to be in my collection of something from each GA publisher even after my not so subtle hints 8) Visions of MadHatter now flash through my mind.
