Description   The Comic Weekly Man Volume 1     Listen to Lon Clark discussing The Comic Weekly Man from a 1994 FOTR panel discussion.   “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 Manbrought 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.   #174 Flash Gordon, Dick's Adventures, Rusty Riley, Roy Rogers, Donald Duck, Blondie and Dagwood, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Prince Valiant Sunday, August 20, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #175 Snookums, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Donald Duck, Roy Rogers, Little Iodine, Blondie and Dagwood Sunday, August 27, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #184 Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Roy Rogers, Donald Duck, Blondie and Dagwood, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Prince Valiant Sunday, October 29, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #185 Snookums, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Roy Rogers Blondie and Dagwood, Snuffy Smith, Prince Valiant Sunday, November 05, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #190 Snookums, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Donald Duck, Roy Rogers, Blondie and Dagwood, Prince Valiant Sunday, December 10, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #191 Snookums, Flash Gordon, Roy Rogers, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Blondie and Dagwood, Donald Duck, Prince Valiant Sunday, December 17, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #192 Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Donald Duck, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Roy Rogers, Blondie and Dagwood, Prince Valiant Sunday, December 24, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #193 Guest appearance by Hopalong Cassidy Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Donald Duck, Guest: Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, Blondie and Dagwood, Prince Valiant Sunday, December 31, 1950 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #196 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, January 21, 1951 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #197 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Flash Gordon, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, January 28, 1951 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #198 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Flash Gordon, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley Sunday, February 04, 1951 - 30:00 - Syndicated   #199 Hopalong Cassidy, Prince Valiant, Dick’s Adventures, Rusty Riley, Blondie and Dagwood, Roy Rogers, Uncle Remus and his Tales of Brer Rabbit, Flash Gordon, Snookums Sunday, February 11, 1951 - 30:00 - Syndicated
