Al Wiseman Blog: <b>Gas Buggy Gamblers Poster</b> (Part 1)

Al Wiseman Blog

This blog is set up as a tribute to the late, great cartoonist Al Wiseman. Al was best known for ghosting the acclaimed Dennis the Menace comic book in the 50’s & 60’s. Unfortunately, being a "ghost" meant Al’s name was largely unknown, even to his fans. Let’s right this wrong! Join us as we delve into the unjustly overlooked life & career of Al Wiseman. "Dennis the Menace" & related characters are ©Hank Ketcham Enterprises, Inc.

Gas Buggy Gamblers Poster (Part 1)

"A Little Gallery of Gas Buggy Gamblers" was a small, undated black & white poster featuring a bunch of car-safety cartoon panels.

Yet again, this was more than likely another of Al's self-published projects. Probably from the late '60s/early '70s. It's signed "Al Wiseman" and "Rebecca Hill". So, who was this Rebecca Hill and just what part did she play in the creation of this poster? Dunno. Maybe she's related to Frank Hill?

Gee, you have to wonder if Al ever made any money off these projects. Well, you don't have to wonder. But I do.

After all, wondering about such things is all part of my prestigious job description here at the Al Wiseman Blog...
