Groovy Age Splash Page of the Week




Groovy Age Spotlight On...
Hee Haw, the Comicbook!
Ol' Groove can't remember when an, um... not so good comic has gotten as much discussion as the cover pic of Hee Haw #1 did last week! Now, as I've said in last week's comments section, I really dug the show. The comic, though...well... at least Charlton tried. Here are a few pages from issues 3 and 5 (October 1970 and February 1971) where the Boys from Derby at least TRIED to capture some of the cornpone humor and actual content of the show. Oh, and you'll notice that Charlton also published (for a short time, natch) a Hee Haw magazine, as well. 


Was someone at Chick-fil-A a Hee Haw comic fan?
Hoo-boy. Y'all had a lot to chew the fat about based on just the cover last week. I'm curious as a tom cat in a new barn to see what y'all have to say about this (Junior) sampling...

Groovy Age Spotlight On: Alex Niño
"Search for a Werewolf" Written by George Kashdan

Happy 80th Birthday to Alex Niño! As long-time citizens of Groove City know, Alex is one of Ol' Groove's most favoritest artists ever! he's still trucking along, posting "how-to-do-it" videos on FaceBook, making it look so easy--and stunning--as he still produces masterpiece after masterpiece! Of course, this being DotGK, we're going way back to Weird Mystery Tales #13 (May 1974) to dig on a short shocker Mr. Niño laid upon us--one with his unique take on another of Ol' Groove's favorite things--a werewolf! Have a howlingly awesome birthday, Mr. N!!
