Writer/illustrator Rock Baker's Cartoon Cuties legacy grows stronger with each and every issue. Issue #8 is one such dandy case in point, with wonderful stories that capture spry and wholesome everyday life in good ol' Creek Bend.
For this volume, the jaunty contents feature vivacious Janet Dall helping out the crafty Lucy Mouse in a vampiric caper; the marvelous Minerva Mallen upgrading to disastrous, high-tech life; the delightful Baxter Twins receiving an "unexpected" correspondence, but not before wrestling with a way-too-short dress; Wendy Marco in a nod to the classic, Coppertone ad; Patty Morrow in enticing, "bridal" attire; Nora Powell flaunting a scandalous bikini; the underdressed Yvette Pond lounging with her boyfriend, Jerry; Louise Beaumont engaging in a little, public "experimentation"; and Misty Carter conducting a splashingly grand swimming lesson, with mirthful mayhem ensuing; plus more!
Baker's knack for capturing the euphoric essence of his celebrated Annies has never been better, enriched by playful curves and kindhearted gags, presented in full color and black-and-white renderings, with adroit lettering by Alan Shelby.
I had loads of fun with this 76-page, CB International extravaganza, and you will, too. Cartoon Cuties #8 will also make a cheerful gift for friends and family this holiday season. (Incidentally, the above images are, in fact, place holders for the sake of this post; most have been sharpened and edited for the publication, and as such, are all the more eye-catching for the effort.)
