Puberty With A Smile
Saturday Leftover Day.
I shared a lot of Ponytil Sundays here, a long running daily panel and Sundau strip series by Lee Holley in the Hank Ketcham/Dennis the Menace. The jokes were quite good and stilistically Holley was more than capable to stand on his own feet after ghostig for Ketcham for a couple of years. I never clipped any dauily panels, but here is an early dampling from January 1960.

A Tail For The Ages
Sunday Old favorites Day.
Here are some more samples of a strip I have shown before. Ponytail was a girl's strip roughly in the Hank Ketcham style. Up till the start of this teenage strip, the artist Lee Holley had in fact worked as Ketcham's assistant. But despite the stilistic heritage, Holley was his own man. He made Ponytail is a minor succes, doing well enough to sustain him for as long as it ran. 'Ponytail' was launched as a daily cartoon panel on 7 November 1960, and a Sunday comic strip was added on 7 January 1962.

Meanwhile, Somewhere Else In The Net...
Tuesday Comic Strip Day.
In Dutch we have a greta word for fish fishermen catch while they are actually fishing for something else. Google Translate tells me in English it is called bycatch, but I have actually never heard or seen it used. So here is the bycatch I didwhile scanning some larger projects: to Sundays of Mr. Mum and two from Ponytail. Biot illustrating why I find the period at the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties one of the most exciting.

Teen Spirit
Monday cartoon Day.
In 1962 former Hank Ketcham assistant Lee Holey started his own daily panel called Ponytail. Like Denis the Menace Ponutail's daily gags were expended in to a lively Sunday. Unlike Denis the menace Holley seems to have drawn this himself. At least at the start. Ponytail had a long life and is still being published in Holland. Sometime the translation has to be adapted (like when a LP disc player has to be introduced as a retro gadget), but the gag are the same. So for translator Thom Roep and all fans of teen art, here are some of the earliest samples.

Tailbait
Friday Comic Book Day.
Ponytail was big enough to make it into a comic book series for Dell (and later Charlton). Unfortunately, I was only able to find one from the Charlton run, which I like less. For me, his style became a bit to loose towards the end. I do think he did these himselfm=, though. If you want a loo at some of the older stuff, go to Sherm Cohen's Cartoon Snap (http://cartoonsnap.blogspot.com/search?q=lee+holley) for a few stories from a Dell issue and some other useful links.
