Things That Make You Go *awww*

I'm posting this to kind of test the waters, I guess.
Would anyone here be interested in seeing more of the older DELL, GOLD KEY, and WHITMAN material in this community?
I know the WARREN material is being covered by cyberghostface, bluefall is sharing the history of WW, and dr_hermes gives us our daily obscurity and mystery photo game;

so, would kiddie comic shorts be welcome for reading and discussion, or is it a waste of my time??

	I'm glad you included the pledge. I like that they thought a mother coming home to find her murdered children part of their "only good fun" policy. Touching story, with yes, those "awww" moments. (even though I think those Cheetahs may be tasting her in the last panel) I for one am on board for other such materials. (Reply to this)

	I wonder if this was based on an actual event. Can't be any weirder than the lioness that adopted an impala calf that I saw on Animal Planet. (Reply to this)

	The hyena, preying always on the young, the sick or the helpless ...Yes? Like every other predator ever? I like how they make it sound so "vile", when it's the very basis of natural selection. (Reply to this)

Actually, yes, I would like more. There's a lot of overlooked gems, at least in terms of older kinds of comics storytelling, among those. (And I like TUROK, at least for its covers. Actually, DELL had really cool painted covers, which made them stand out, but also contributed to a sort of stuffy feel to them to a kid.

And I like this little story. It's not easy to emotionally engage people with non-anthropomorphic animal characters. WE3 was amazing in that regard.

	This is really cute! So yeah, I'd love to see a lot more of this material. (Reply to this)

	Absolutely! Dell, Gold Key and Whitman all had some terrific comics that deserve a little attention. I love super-heroes as much as the next fanboy but there is so much more to comics than that. Gold Key in particular had a policy of printing their painted covers on the back with printing... great posters that would make a decent coffee-table book. (Reply to this)

	Do post more clean and wholesome fun, this just about makes my day. (Reply to this)

	W-what? There's something in my eye. (Reply to this)

	This is... Yes, I'd like to see more. It weirds me out, because of the anthropomorphism, but it also draws me in. Because of the anthropomorphism. Weird. (Reply to this)

	I would definitely like to see more! (Reply to this)
