Thanks Axegrinder for your responces yesterday. By the way your photo remoinds me of the actor Bob Denver who played Manyard Krebbs on Dobie and later Gilligan of Gilligan’s Island. I too loved the On Stage strip by Leonard Starr who later for awhile did Annie I think.
As usual with artists, he’s drawn the musicians in mirror image. The drummers are holding the sticks correctly but they should be in the opposite hands, and the fife should be to the right of the face, not the left. It’s a mystery why artists do this but it’s almost universal. Maybe for the same reason most characters are left-handed.
I should give up commenting on it…after all I don’t accomplish anything.

Yes, Leonard Starr did shift gears and draw Annie. His On Stage is being nicely reprinted from the beginning by Classic Comics Press right now.

Next Sunday would be the 5th. Too late to wish a happy 4th (which is a Federal holiday on the 3rd).

There’s a bumper sticker going around from the marines that say’s, It’s Gods Job to judge the terrorists.
It’s our job to arrange the meeting!

I think the town crier looks like Walt, the piper like Rufus, and the drummer like Skeezix. All younger ofcourse.
axe-grinder over 15 years ago
I think the piper is Upton.
