Wonder Books did not publish any books featuring Harvey characters in 1962. They resumed in 1963 with book 805 “Casper and Wendy” and book 821 “Buzzy the Funny Crow“, both of which have been contributed by Rick Beckham:
I had written back in February about how I had had problems with the new WordPress block editor, Gutenberg, and about how I overcame these problems by changing all my content to “Custom HTML” blocks, with “More” blocks as required.

It was exactly a year ago that I commented on the Roboto font’s popularity, and now I am pleased to see that Roboto made it to Vistaprint’s Top 12 Easy to Read Fonts.

I use Vistaprint for business cards, both personal and for the Harvey Mercheum, and have been very pleased with their quality. Some day I need to have these cards redone with “https” instead of “http”…
