Sis Sez Sunday - 77

Well, guys, Sis Sez Sunday comes to an end today as this is the last Sis Sez that Ruth Plumly Thompson and Marge wrote.

In the future I might be able to bring you a few more as I am missing several issues of King Comics from my collection. I'll see what I can do.

I think Thompson's verse has been much better in these last few episodes. I suspect that Marge was just getting too busy to illustrate a Thompson short story and draw two Sis Sez pages every month. Marge didn't even finish illustrating all of Thompson's Wizard of Way-Up serialization in King Comics - another artist filled in for a few issues.

So what's going to replace Sis Sez Sunday, you ask? Well, starting next weekend we'll delve into Thompson's The Perhappsy Chaps. The internet should prove an ideal medium for this rare Thompson book as the lovely full-color illustrations are half the fun!

Poor Sis is in quite a lather this week! I think this might be one of Thompson's better Sis Sez poems - but it looks to me like Marge drew Sis wearing the bathing cap she's lamenting the loss of.

Well,  these days Sis would be welcome to join up. But from a purely historical perspective it's interesting to consider what's going on in Europe in January of 1940 and what's coming down the pike  twenty-three months later.

That said, please don't try jumping off the roof with an umbrella!
