In addition to his Fun Ideas blog, pop culture historian Mark Arnold has a website devoted to Harvey Comics & Cartoons, including pages devoted to some of the Harvey characters. I have mentioned before how I try to make the Harvey Mercheum website archive pages useful, yet somehow neglected to link to these pages. Apologies Mark! I have now corrected that oversight, please try the “Browse Collection By” “Characters” navigation to see the new links on the character archive pages.
January is National Hobby Month
Well, we’re half way through the month of January, and I just found out that it is National Hobby Month! I will have to try to think of a suitable way to celebrate next year. Are you doing anything to celebrate this month? Leave a comment below!
PHP version updated
Second technical change for the new year! The recent release of PHP version 7.4 reminded me that I had not checked PHP on the Harvey Mercheum website since March of 2017. I found that SiteGround was updating PHP for me, but their current recommended version is 7.1, which just reached end of life. After placing several support tickets and receiving updates to several plugins, I have now manually updated the website to version 7.2. If you experience any problems, please leave a comment below, or use the Contact the Curator form.

Casper Music Box guest exhibit posted
Another great guest exhibit from Rick Beckham today, a jack-in-the-box of Casper and the other stars of Matty’s Funday Funnies on ABC-TV. They come up for sale pretty frequently, but are usually badly rusted and do not work. Thank you Rick for sharing this nice example:
