I can tell you with 100% surety that Frazetta did not do any work on the stories in COO COO #45, "Butch and Buttercup" or HAPPY #19 that were discussed in your blog. I once asked Frazetta if he ever collaborated with any other artist on his funny animal work and he told me that he never did. Sadly there is a ton of errors in the various checklists, even the latest one, mistitled: FRAZETTA THE DEFINITIVE REFERENCE.Robert Barrettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-64696000060672600022011-01-08T08:34:02.944-05:002011-01-08T08:34:02.944-05:00I believe John mentioned the three-panels at end w...I believe John mentioned the three-panels at end was Tyer, too, but I didn't pick up on it first time around.

I see what you mean about FF being involved in this 2nd story; if nothing else, some of the inking. Especially on the page one splash, page four, and the last page. Plus, Frazetta did smoke a pipe, so perhaps the flying Dawg Cartoonist in the end is a characterization of him ? Great comic regardless; thanx for posting~!Runs.with.Feralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633149475126315592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-73627986177929814682011-01-01T15:15:40.421-05:002011-01-01T15:15:40.421-05:00John: I don't think that second story is Bradb...John: I don't <i>think</i> that second story is Bradbury, but I do see a Hultgren gaping mouth now and then. My capacity to be wrong about this stuff can't be underestimated, though. <br /><br />Comics were a ton of fun then, I agree. There's about 5 more great stories in this one issue - a lot of Bradbury I'll be posting next.Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-30142199679605609632011-01-01T15:07:56.836-05:002011-01-01T15:07:56.836-05:00Isn't that 2nd story by Jack Bradbury?
