Michael D Hamersky On Comics Mentions...   Labor Day... Comic Books & Comic Strips!    TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3942 -     Today is Labor Day... A nationally recognized holiday.   The history of this holiday is shown here, at this Wikipedia entry.   Today, a lot of US citizens don't know much about the holiday, other than it is recognized as the end of the Summer Season.   Oh, and that the NFL and the College Football Seasons start this week!   I'm stopping long enough this morning to present photos of those artists that labored through the years on comic books and comic strips.   More photos, (over 200 of them), are shown at this special photo album titled 'At The Drawing Board', at my Facebook Fan Page.   My thanks to those pictured, (and not pictured), that labored through many years to produce the comic books and comic strips that I have come to enjoy to read over the years.   I hope that you take part of today to read this blog post and to check out the many other comic book artists that are pictured in the photo album.   Happy Labor Day!    ~Michael John Severin At The Drawing Board!    Marge Buell, of 'Little Lulu' fame At The Drawing Board!   Fred Harman, of 'Red Ryder' fame, At The Drawing Board!   Note: You can see more photos of those 'At The Drawing Board' at this Special Photo Album on my Facebook Fan Page!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On The...   The August 30th of 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival Season Held At the Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad, California!     TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3941 -     Last night, Tina and I attended the 2nd Night of the 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival.   This was after spending all week rennovating our house... So we were glad to get out of the house and under the stars!   The Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch is celebrating its 10th Anniversary up big with this year's Film Festival.   We saw the episode titled 'Phoney Sheriff' of the Cisco Kid, followed by the feature film, If You Could Only Cook. Those in attendance, (all 150 of them), seemed to enjoy both the Cisco Kid episode as well as the 1935 Depression Era film!  Jean Arthur & Leo Carrillo were outstanding in the film!   Also, Phyllis Coates was featured in the Cicso Kid episode.  She of course was 'Lois Lane' in 26 episodes of the 1950s TV Series 'Adventures of Superman' from 1951-1953!   Another tie-in to comic books is the Cisco Kid series from Dell Comics. There are 41 issues of this series, as seen at this link.   Also... Here is the link to what else is playing this 2013 Film Festival Season.   You must make a reservation in advance to be one of the 150 attendees of each Friday Night's film showing.  The cost is 'Free', and we always have great fun under the stars at this seasonal Film Festival!    ~Michael The Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park Is Celebrating Its 10th Anniversary This Year!    Refreshments Are Served At the Pool's Cabana. Which Is Good, Because It Was Hot & Humid Last Night!   I Had An El Conquistador For Dinner.  Plus I Won A Free Large Popcorn At the Spinning Wheel!   The Feature Film Was 'If You Could Only Cook'!   Note: You can see more photos from this event at this Special Photo Album on my Facebook Fan Page!
