I never ever found them funny. And I found ARCHIE comics funny as a kid! It got to the point where I'd just unwrap my gum and chuck the wrappers - my friends were SHOCKED that I didn't want to read the horrendously bad comics hidden inside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-1134620584236390942005-12-14T20:23:00.000-08:002005-12-14T20:23:00.000-08:00These Pud comics are actually pretty funny.

I can't imagine why they couldn't reuse old jokes (that were funny).Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835043691647033055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-1134609878648386452005-12-14T17:24:00.000-08:002005-12-14T17:24:00.000-08:00I am not so sure that Pub was ever an African Amer...I am not so sure that Pub was ever an African American kid. Also I am pretty sure when he started out he was a big kid. I will try to dig out some of the 40's comics and post them on my blog.Dan Goodsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754593291168788902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-1134608441289496952005-12-14T17:00:00.000-08:002005-12-14T17:00:00.000-08:00I haven't been able to find pictures of the fat Pu...I haven't been able to find pictures of the fat Pud anywhere on the 'net. Evidently Pud started out in the 30's as a normal-sized kid, but by the 50's, when I first saw him, had become grossly obese. His name was odd, too...my Mom explained to me that "Pud" was a pet name, short for "Puddin'". At some point they slimmed Pud back down, and apparently made him a Black kid for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-1134595735819769602005-12-14T13:28:00.000-08:002005-12-14T13:28:00.000-08:00I'm old enough to remember Pud when he was a jolly...I'm old enough to remember Pud when he was a jolly fat kid with the same striped shirt. The one you're a fan of is an aneorexic imposter.<BR/>Then again, I used to like Bazooka Joe better, because Joe had an eye patch (perhaps due to some traumatic accident?). Also, Mort was the weird kid who wore his turtleneck shirt up over his mouth. All this has been sanitized, too, since those days.<BR/>It's tough becoming an old fart.zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488673386301742501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-1134590011617833262005-12-14T11:53:00.000-08:002005-12-14T11:53:00.000-08:00Haha.
