Go fly a kite! [new exhibit]
We’re actually supposed to get thunderstorms in a little while, so unless you want to pull a Ben Franklin, perhaps flying a kite is not such a good idea.
It was more than three years ago that we looked at one of three cardboard kites printed by Saalfield for Harvey Comics. I recently acquired a second, the Wendy and Casper version, and it is today’s exhibit. It is interesting that they gave Wendy top billing. You can tell the three versions apart by the yellow-outlined red text at the top of the front cover. I am very interested in completing the set with Spooky, especially since there is so little merchandise featuring him. One was for sale on eBay, but unfortunately seems to have been sold. If you have any leads on a Spooky kite, please leave a comment below, or use the Contact the Curator form, thank you!
