Rock is a big dumb human guy while Rollo is a fox. It's the very same story you showed here starring Butch & Buttercup, right down to 95% of the dialogue. I guess even back then recycling was used.Steve Requinhttp://comictrip.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-82595312211741597742010-11-15T01:10:28.704-05:002010-11-15T01:10:28.704-05:00Gary: Wouldn't that be something? imagine the ...Gary: Wouldn't that be something? imagine the story possibilites of such a super rodent dream team!

But for myself, I've always been a little skeptical. <br />I own a copy of COO COO #44, which also has a 'Butch And Buttercup' story in it, which is also attributed to Frazetta. That one, looks even less-than-Frazetta than the one you've posted here!<br /><br />My guess is that all of the more-recent Frazetta Checklists are simply re-publishing a Checklist that was first published in an old fanzine entitled: 'Spa-Fon' #5. And with Frazetta himself gone now. We'll have to find other ways to verify this entry..<br /><br />I would suggest that this 'Butch And Buttercup' may have been pencilled by Frazetta. But it doesn't look inked, by him. I can see some Frazetta-isms in the staging and character poses; particularly, in some of the hand positions. But in other parts, the Layouts are rather flat and not terribly dynamic..<br />Even so, it's still a fun strip that is not without a certain amount of appeal!Rich Dannyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113049270902804804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-2137167431745546312010-11-08T16:00:52.058-05:002010-11-08T16:00:52.058-05:00AWESOME post all around !

Always getting abused in comics, just cause they look mean. I hope someone takes a dive for me if my Jungle Crown is ever threatened !<br /><br />2nd Story: This one should be the Anthem of Comic-Bloggers everywhere. You can take away our hot water & other amenities, but, please~ don't take away our Comics ! I especially like the panel with the mustache peeking out the hole in the hollow tree.<br /><br />3rd Story: Any cartoon Fan will HEAR voice characterizations for these characters, their archetypes are so universal. This one had my favorite art of the three; a nice combination of styles, and really well grounded.
