Today we have the last of the guest exhibits from Rick Beckham. Long before they worked with PolyGram’s Parachute label, Harvey Comics used Peter Pan Records to make a number of story records. Today we have “Where Do You Hide In A Haunted House?” backed with “Good Luck Isn’t Bad”:
SiteGround’s move to Google Cloud
I have received confirmation that the server move that happened while I was away was part of SiteGround’s move to Google Cloud. That’s right, the Harvey Mercheum website is now hosted on Google Cloud servers! Long-time readers of the Mercheum Blog know that I am a fan of Google’s offerings, but for more information on why I am excited by this move in particular, read SiteGround’s blog post:
Back from trip with four new Jigidi puzzles
I am back from a trip, and ready to continue our retrospective! While I was gone, SiteGround moved the Harvey Mercheum website to a new shared server. This was the morning of Tuesday, January 28th, and the website was unavailable for about an hour. Apologies for any inconvenience this caused. Everything seems to be working now, so here are the next four Jigidi puzzles, enjoy!
To see all of the Harvey Mercheum puzzles, use the “New Puzzle” post category on this website:

Sad Sack record guest exhibit posted
I promised to post an exhibit this weekend, and I am delivering. I find it hard to believe that it has been almost a month since I posted an exhibit, but today we have another great guest exhibit from Rick Beckham.
Continue reading →Links added to Mark Arnold’s character pages
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.

Sorry for not posting last weekend, I was working on the Harvey Mercheum exhibit pages. I have now completed converting the 2015 exhibits to Gutenberg blocks and printouts to PDFs. I still have to combine all of these PDFs into a 2015 Exhibit Guide.
