Title: Gordo?
Post by: Calamity Jon 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!

Please hang on until we can get back to you.

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.

I hope so!

Cheers!

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)_/¯)

Thanks again for doing the work and saving another book for posterity.
