While on a Frank Frazetta art hunt (a Google hunt, of course) I found this gem. I knew FF did a lot of comic art, but never heard about this one.
The scanned pages are over at Pappy’s Golden Age of Comics Blogzine — which is a real find in itself. You’ll just love clicking through the links and finding more good vintage comics.

Heroes Con 2010 is now history, but it was a blast! Will and I spent most of our time with good friend and “super dealer”, Earl Shaw at his booth selling the heck out of comics. The time at Earl’s booth was especially enjoyable as the legendary Chuck Rozanski spent most of the show there […] Golden Age of Comic Books
When I decided to teach myself drawing, my first question was, “how will I know if the drawing is good?”
The answer I arrived at was, if it was a good likeness.
I really wasn’t interested in Norman Rockwell-style art. I loved comics and caricatures (I was raised on MAD Magazine). So I started doing celebrities and knew that I had a good drawing when anybody (even me) could tell who was pictured.
Disney characters are universally known and fun to draw. If you’re interested in sharpening your sketching skills, here is a basic tutorial on step-by-step drawing of Minnie Mouse.
Doodles is one of those comic characters little known (and mostly forgotten) by the general public. But this 1950s character is beloved by a devoted cult.
Gabriel Corbera over at Joyville is one of those afficianados, and he’s got a good selection of scanned pages for you to enjoy.
The comic was created to capitalize on the popularity of POGO (and creator Walt Kelly). And while Doodles has some endearing charms, he’s no Pogo.
That’s where he reads the books, listens to the audio products, watches the videos for getting ahead in business and marketing, then he takes notes and publishes them — so you don’t have to do all the hard work!
Take a look at his “Free Notes On Dan Kennedy’s 8 Big Ideas Seminar” and see if you don’t fall in love, too. I mean, I’m an inhabitant of Planet Dan and have spent mucho dinero over the past few years going to his seminars, buying his books, etc.

Alright, so I will be explaining how I learned how to take a major scale [a minor scale in my next lesson] and to use that scale to produce a chord progression. And it only takes a little knowledge of scales, and a couple words to memorize. And afterwords hopefully you’ll be able to, on the spot, produce chord progressions from a scale.
