Somehow I suspect this is not an official Disney product.

I was wondering why?

It looks just like a 1930’s Disney page to me… some of those characters were gone by the new cartoons of my childhood, but occasionally showed up when they ran older ones on TV.

The humor was also more slanted at adults than children back then…

I love the (pre-Donald, I think) duck making a pun about Clara washing her ears.

Dippy Dawg was the forerunner of Goofy, so this is before his name change in the mid-30’s.

Aha… it’s a page from Mickey Mouse Magazine, Feb 5th, 1936.

Maybe this link will work…

The link works just fine.
 
If you want, I’ve discovered that deleting the superfluous coding from the ? on over doesn’t affect the image posting at all.
1.  Go to your “Manage Comment” gear (see attachment).
2.  Left click on it.
3.  Left click in the “Edit” box when it appears.
4.  When the comment comes up, highlight and delete the unwanted coding.
5.  Click “Save” (or “Cancel” if you change your mind) and you’re done.

Thank you, but I edit my comments all the time.

I know how… we’ve even talked about the two methods (the gear and the edit button.)

….

The reason I didn’t was that I’d dozed off … I mean, I was resting my eyes…. before I posted it.

It was nearly dawn when I wok… um… when I realized it.

I saw the extra stuff in the URL.

Anything starting with a question mark at the end is usually extraneous instructions for size, display, etc…

I wondered briefly whether anything in these would cause it not to display the image.

But I just quickly submitted it, and let the chips fall where they may.

I didn’t think it was that important to clean it up, or even take time to refresh the page and make sure…

I needed to shut down and go to bed.

This is a     LINK     to a brief article about Dippy Dawg / Goofy at the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis’ website.
From information in the article and the line by the goose in the cartoon, “This is the new goose step!”, I’d say the cartoon is after 1933 (the year Hitler became Chancellor) and before 1938 because to me, that’s getting into the “late” 1930s.
 
Unfortunately the picture of Jane Withers’ Dippy Dawg doll (given to her by Disney, himself) did not render on my machine and I couldn’t find a site with it on it. Please, if it rendered on your machine post it here.

I’m from Lincoln NE and I never heard of this, of course it’s before my time.

My Illinois raised wife told me about “Omar the breadman”. I think we had Dugan the Bread Man out east when I was very young.

I was born in the 50’s. But my grandfather worked for Meadowgold, so maybe that’s why I didn’t know about it.

Bob’s Big Boy franchisees were allowed to use their own or other restaurant names instead of “Bob’s”, even have their own chains of them, and still be part of the Bob’s Big Boy chain.

I looked that up when we had a Big Boy statue posted here a few weeks(?) ago.

The Big Boy Burger was “to die for”…! I do not know how they grilled the bun top&bottom, and what exactly they used, but it was a taste and a flavour which I still remember some 40 years later, quite heavenly!

Health food, 1960’s version.

We didn’t have Big Boy then where I lived in Wisconsin…

But that meal at the local hamburger place would have cost about 60¢.

Burgers were either 20¢ or a quarter, but they ran a weekend special, 6 for a dollar.

That’s when our family would go.

Then McDonald’s came…

Burgers a bit smaller, and no cole slaw… no big Macs or quarter pounders yet…

But the regular hamburger with fries and a coke when they opened in 61 or 62 was 25¢.

Then again… A lot of people made 60¢ an hour.

nighthawks ended the year with an easy one.
That appears to be the television remote at Claude’s right elbow, so what does Clara have in her hand?

That clock is one of my all time favorite Cleo strips ever!

Gorgeous, and beautifully animated.

….

I thought maybe we’d see it in its full glory as tomorrow’s offering, for New Years Day.

But if those hardworking musicians must play second fiddle (cough)….

At least they made it here.

Happy New Year!

Last Christmas, my daughter gave me “Get Back” the large format book accompanying the movie. I lost track of it until recently and finished reading it today. It is full of dialogue and pictures. What it mostly reveals to me is how the creative process worked for these four guys. In the course of a few weeks they were constantly bouncing ideas off each other, and easily doing it with several songs at the same time. Also they were such good friends, even as the breakup was imminent. And nobody seemed to have an issue with Yoko accompanying John to the rehearsals.

I’ve seen a number of short YouTube videos where one or another ex Beatle says there were never any long term feuds, that they loved each other like brothers, and fought like brothers will, but always made up.

They composed, played and traveled together from their teens onward, thrust into bewildering fame before the oldest two were 21.

Both Ringo and Paul have said the four shared one or two rooms in hotels at that age because they were still nervous being alone far from home.

So they essentially grew up together, through extraordinary times. You don’t forget that.

They all say the press made up most of the tension over Yoko, to sell magazines. They thought it was strange, but John was happy, so they didn’t care.

Diamond Girl – Seals and Crofts (extra number 3) shows as ‘Video unavailable’ on my machine so I found a copy that works and put it in the box.

By some food calendars it’s vinegar day today (others say it’s November 1).
So here are two favourite family recipes from my mother’s cookbook (in her hand writing).
 
“Salad Dressing”
   Credited to her friend: Edith Snyder
 
yolks of 2 eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
Add:
1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup milk (whole milk 3.25% milk fat
2 tablespoons melted butter
 
Cook in double boiler until thick.
Delicious !
 
Now instructions for which you do not have to have watched my mother make this.

 
Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly.
Add the egg yolks to the milk and beat in; pour into dry ingredients and stir them together.
Stir in the vinegar.
Cook in the double boiler, whisking to keep from settling.
 
An easier way these days is to put the thoroughly whisked dressing in a micro wave proof glass container and cook for 3 minutes (based on 700 Watts). Check and cook for a minute more if needed.
 
Notes from me:
Thin this with 1/2 & 1/2 cream (10% milk fat) to your taste, and it becomes an excellent coleslaw dressing.
 
Sweet and Sour Sauce
 
This was always used for pork spareribs by Mother, but over the years, I’ve used it for chops and roasts too (I tried it on beef once, but it didn’t work).
 
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup vinegar
1 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
 
Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add vinegar, fruit juice, and soy sauce. Mix well. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. One bouillon cube dissolved in 1/4 cup of boiling water may be added if desired. Pour sauce over cooked spareribs. Cook for another five minutes. Serves about 6.
 
Notes from me:
Mother never added the bouillon cube that I can recall.
Cook at no more than 5/8 of your stove’s burner dials (You don’t want to see any red in the burner at normal room lighting).

Not today, anyway.
