I can’t believe it has been almost a month since I posted a new exhibit, sorry! The last exhibit was a Casper doll, I thought it would be appropriate to follow it up with a doll of Casper’s friend Wendy. Harvey Comics worked with a number of manufacturers over the years. This Wendy doll was made by a company we have not seen before, but is still in business, Kellytoy:
Today is International Museum Day! The theme for 2020 is “Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion”. The aim is to become a rallying point to both celebrate the diversity of perspectives that make up the communities and personnel of museums, and champion tools for identifying and overcoming bias in what they display and the stories they tell. I respect the efforts of ICOM, and encourage all of you to take a moment today to consider the diversity in your life and your community.
I would like to take a moment to welcome the newest supporter of the Harvey Mercheum website, Paul Merolle! He is a long time fan of Harvey Comics, with a special interest in character glassware.

Today is World Intellectual Property Day! This year’s theme is an important one, “Innovate for a Green Future”, but no physical events have been organized, virtual activities are being encouraged instead. Today also starts the tenth Preservation Week, with a theme of “Preserving Oral History”. Take a moment to review the resources made available by the American Library Association.

I mentioned in one of the posts about the history of the Harvey Mercheum website about how I looked to the websites I was already visiting for inspiration. One trend I have noticed recently is the addition of some sort of “tip jar” functionality. I hate popups, and refuse to “monetize” the Harvey Mercheum website, but these links seem unobtrusive. I did some research, and decided to set up an account with Buy Me A Coffee. If you like what I am doing, and would like to show your support, you may use this link to do so. I have also added a button to the right navigation bar under “Support the Mercheum”. Thank you!
