Children's Comics 002: "Television, The Most Modern Means Of Entertainment!"

Here is the cover story for Science Comics #004 published July 1946, inked by Warren Kremer, who is still fondly remembered for his work on the Harveytoon Comic Books.

As a bonus here I've included an episode of "Panhandle Pete and Jennifer" one of TV's earliest surviving local kids shows. Enjoy!

Panhandle Pete and Jennifer (WNBQ-TV, Chicago 1951)

This was the second Chicago area series to feature actress Jennifer Holt. In this program she plays the role of a rancher housewife with Johnny Coons as the old tale telling Pete. This series was produced by the newly formed CNC Productions (which we can assume stood for Johnny Coons, Bill Newton and Ray Chan). The stories for this series were written by Chan, with illustrations by artist Newton. TV series like this with drawings to tell new stories were commons in the early days of TV. The author of this channel would like to learn more information about Chan as he may have been on of TV's earliest Asian-American writers. CNC Productions would later produce the children's series "King Calico" and episode of which was preserved by the Prelinger Archives.
