Tony, I wish that Gold Key Comics would make a comeback!

We all do.

Thank you, James! I just created this comic book "cover" for fun, but there aren't any plans now for another book. Thanks also for the nice words regarding my fox and pig character designs!

Great stuff Mark! Lovin' that Gold Key retro look! So are Sid Sirloin and friends going to return again in the future? With another storybook maybe?

Hey Chris,

I agree with you about there being too many dogs in the cartoon universe...but don't worry, the Pachydums won't be away permanently. I know what you're saying, though. Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey were originally going to be moose, which would have been a nice change.

Hey Mark,

reg; Gruff, I admire his design, but a shame the Pacydums are replaced by dogs. There seems to be a vast amount of dog characters in the HB universe; having lesser-used species like Eeny, Meany and Schmoe (hippy, rhino and elephant respectively) makes a nice change, IMO.

Just an opinion all the same. All down to you in the end who/what you choose to use.

Hey Scott,

No, they didn't get their own show...I just wanted to replace them with the dogs, who are essentially the same personalities, but in canine form.

so did the pachydums get their own show?

Hey Scott,

That's Gruff. He and two other dogs are filling in for the Pachydums. Hope all is well with you.

who's the dog in the backseat?

For a moment I really thought that these comic books were back and you got your own series.Its a wonderful cover.

You're right, Yowp. I think 12 cents was as high as the price got when Eisenberg was supplying the art.

Didn't Harvey Eisenberg draw them when the comic was still 10 cents? :)

Thanks Mark and Chris!

This is awesome! The pale yellow sky and all the rest of it are spot on. If you'd thrown some faux aging on top of this, you'd have had some Gold Key collectors scrambling to look this issue up in the price guide!

Oh, fantastic! Wonderful to see Sid and pals again...

Oh, fantastic! Wonderful to see Sid and pals again - and in such a convincing way, too B-D
