Description   The Comic Weekly Man Volume 5     “I’m The Comic Weekly Man, the jolly Comic Weekly Man and I’m here to read the funnies to you happy boys and honeys.” This memorable theme song welcomed its audience to one of the most unique programs of the era of Classic Radio. The concept was simple. The Comic Weekly Man sang his song, then picked up the newspaper, flipped right to the comic strips, and read them aloud to millions of listeners, replete with different voices, music, and sound effects.   Airing on Mutual beginning in 1947, The Comic Weekly Man combined two pastimes important to American families, Radio and Comic strips. Reading from Puck: The Comic Weekly found in the papers owned by William Randolph Hearst, The Comic Weekly Man brought comic strip favorites – from Flash Gordon to Beetle Bailey, from Prince Valiant to Snuffy Smith - to life in a way most strips had never been heard.   One amazing aspect of this program is just how many voices were heard each week. The Comic Weekly Man, voiced by veteran radio actor Lon Clark, voiced all the male parts while Little Miss Honey, a young girl, assisted with the female roles. A whole cast of comic strip heroes and villains performed by two actors.   Fully restored, the sparkling audio quality of this collection features 12 episodes of comic strips turned radio adventures. Listen as the comic strips of your childhood joke, fight, and tickle their way to your ears with the The Comic Weekly Man, Volume 5.   #260 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Flash Gordon, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, April 13, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #261 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Donald Duck, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, April 20, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #262 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Flash Gordon, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Donald Duck, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, April 27, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #263 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Donald Duck, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, May 4, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #264 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Donald Duck, Flash Gordon, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, May 11, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #265 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Donald Duck, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, May 18, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #272 Guest Elton Hayes, cast as Alan-a-Dale in the 1952 Walt Disney picture "The Story of Robin Hood & his Merrie Men" promotes the film and the new "Robin Hood" comic strip Big Ben Bolt, Prince Valiant, Hopalong Cassidy, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, July 6, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #273 Big Ben Bolt, Prince Valiant, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Flash Gordon, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Robin Hood, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, July 13, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #276 Big Ben Bolt, Prince Valiant, Robin Hood, Donald Duck, Flash Gordon, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, August 3, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #277 Big Ben Bolt, Prince Valiant, Robin Hood, Donald Duck, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, August 10, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #282 Beetle Bailey, Prince Valiant, Robin Hood, Flash Gordon, Blondie and Dagwood, Big Ben Bolt, Roy Rogers, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, September 14, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #283 Beetle Bailey, Prince Valiant, Robin Hood, Flash Gordon, Donald Duck, Blondie and Dagwood, Big Ben Bolt, Roy Rogers, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, September 21, 1952 - 30:00 - Syndicated
