Marc Deckter Challenge Day Four

This great Milt Gross Sunday page is brought to you by a contribution by our friend in Milan, Italy, Alfredo Guisepp Castelli.

Today marks the fourth day of our bi-annual fundraising drive. We had great response today, so there's a lot of exciting things to see- so much in fact, that I'll be rolling over a couple of contributors' comics until Tuesday. The material Marc Deckter is sharing with us here is truly remarkable, and your contributions are greatly appreciated. There's still time to do your part and contribute to help us purchase hard drives to carry us through the next six months of digitization. Here's how it works...

THE MARC DECKTER CHALLENGE
One of our most steadfast supporters is Marc Deckter. Marc is allowing us to digitize hundreds and hundreds of rare 1930s Sunday pages from his extensive collection. Last year, Marc issued a challenge to readers of this blog. Today, he is challenging you to help again.

Contribute $20 to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive through the PayPal link below, and Marc will provide us with a vintage Sunday page to publish here on the website. Donate $50 and he will share three of them... donate $100 and he will allow us to post eight pages. Purchase one of these hard drives and have it shipped to the Archive, and Marc will post FORTY rare Sunday pages! Marc has classic Otto Messmer Felix the Cat, Chic Young's Blondie, Cliff Sterrett's Polly and Her Pals, Milt Gross Count Screwloose and other great pages ready to go. All you have to do to see them is contribute. As the total rises, Marc is prepared to throw in some extra treats, like he did last year. When you contribute, everyone benefits.

IT'S TIME TO SUPPORT THE ARCHIVE

TODAY'S CONTRIBUTORS
Today's contributors also happen to be good friends of mine. First is cartoonist Sherm Cohen. For Sherm, Marc has picked a real rarity... Salesman Sam. Dating from 1930, these dailies by C. D. Small are not well remembered. But they sure are great! I'll have more on this pioneering strip in the near future.







The next batch of classic Felix strips is sponsored by our new Archive Hero, Dino's Pizza. Located just a few blocks down Burbank Bl at Hollywood Way, Dino's is my favorite lunchtime hangout. They make the best pizza in town. Thanks, Dinos for your support (and your great salads too!)










Here are two treats from Marc as an extra bonus for these good friends...




WANT TO SEE MORE?
If this site has provided something of value to you through the hundreds of articles we've posted over the past couple of years, this is your opportunity to give something back. Every day for the next week or so, I'll post the names of the folks who are contributing to make this site possible along with the Sunday pages they sponsor. Please consider joining in and doing your part. If you believe in what we're doing at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive and you have benefitted from our posts in the past, you'll want to contribute so we can bring you even more.

If you can, link to this post from your website or blog. Encourage your friends to join in the challenge. Let's all pull together, and take this project to the next level.

I'll be back in the Archive on Tuesday preparing a batch of great vintage comic strip Sunday pages courtesy of our latest Archive Heros, Chappell Ellison and Brian Homan.

Thanks!
