Posted on December 25, 2020 by Jonathan SternfeldDecember 25, 2020  
Harvey Greetings card front view.

Merry Christmas and Harvey Greetings from the Harvey Mercheum! Back in the first year of operation, I posted two Harvey Comics corporate greeting cards. I just received this card this week, and could not wait to share it with you! It is blank on the back, but the front is wonderfully vibrant, enjoy!

Harvey postcard

Harvey postcard front view.

It’s been a while since I posted any ephemera from the Harvey Comics corporate offices. Today I would like to share a postcard, sent from Circulation Director Allen Hardy to their wholesalers, saying that Harvey is going to prepare birthday and anniversary cards for them. I wonder if these cards were ever made. If so, I would love to document them here on the Harvey Mercheum. If you have any information on these cards, please leave a comment below, or use the Contact the Curator form.

Plastic drink cups guest pictures

Posted on June 14, 2020 by Jonathan SternfeldJune 14, 2020  
Little Dot prototype UtoteM cup, front view.

Today we have photos of four very neat plastic drink cups provided by Paul Merolle. I really wanted to make these exhibits, but Paul says he is not sure they were ever produced, so I am counting them as prototypes and sharing them with you, my readers, as a Harvey corporate post. Paul says they are from the 1970’s, and were made for a chain of convenience stores called UtoteM. He thinks they were made by the same company that made promotional Slurpee cups for 7-Eleven. Long-time readers of the Mercheum blog know that 7-Eleven is near and dear to my heart, because in the early 1980’s, my father and I used to walk to our local 7-Eleven at least once a week to see if any new Richie Rich comics had come out.

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. You see, Paul is President of PopFun Merchandising, LLC, the company that brought us the wonderful Harvey Toon Tumblers, and continues to make Toon Tumblers for the remaining comic publishers.

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.

PEZAMANIA

PEZAMANIA pin featuring Casper front view.

Well, I did it again. I was planning a big exhibit for this weekend to celebrate the 125th item posted. Then I reviewed my notes, and realized I had only counted one of the two Little Lotta Mini-maquettes. This means that the Artist Proof of the Richie Rich Mini-maquette was actually the 125th exhibit. I am actually rather happy that this great exhibit ended up being an important milestone, I just wish I had acknowledged it.

Classic Media advertising pages

Posted on June 23, 2018 by Jonathan SternfeldDecember 27, 2019  
2004 Classic Media advertising cover page

I frequently feel like running the Harvey Mercheum is a lot like juggling, trying to keep many balls in the air at once. It turns out that I am a terrible juggler. It has been almost three years since I last did a “Harvey corporate” post! I really must apologize. Today we go from the cut-and-pasted mock-up of an advertisement for Little Audrey to some slick advertising pages Classic Media did for their characters back in 2004:
