CAR TooNS is back

[Greg Myers]

Did I miss the memo ? Just picked up what their calling #2 ISSUE. 65 pages of fond memories. 

[russosborne]

There was a thread a month or so ago about it starting up again. Or maybe a bit before that.

Yea, you missed the memo Greg. As Russ noted, there was talk about this about a month ago. As soon as found out about it, I ordered a subscription and issue #0. The subscription starts with issue #2. Well since I purchased #0 and just got #2 this week, I'd like to add issue #1 to my collection. At the time of ordering issue #0 and my subscription, I requested from the publisher to buy #1 also. I was told I need to buy that issue from a local seller.

Well I've spent several weeks trying to hunt down issue #1. I live in a fairly large city, Minneapolis, and yet I can not find anybody around here who carries it locally! In the last week, there are people selling issue #1 on eBay. And guess what's happening to the bidding on these! This irritates me. I'm a subscriber and I can not get a copy of #1? The publisher will not sell me one? I don't get it?

As far as the magazine itself, the 2 issue I do have are pretty good. I like it! Now if I can just get my hands on issue #1.

Okay, I need to amend my last post here. After writing it, I went to the CARtoon's web site to complain about not being able to buy or find issue #1. Well guess what? They are now offering issue #1 on their web site. And I was able to order it for a lot less than what I'd have to pay for it on eBay!

So things are good. I'm completely happy with the CARtoons..

Where are you guys finding it?

[Greg Myers]

I got mine at a Wal-Mart local market with a limited magazine selection. as a mater of fact I was feeling sorry for my self having to go there to shop as I knew they few magazines of interest. ThenI spot this one. Only one on the shelf. Go figure.

Where are you guys finding it?

Do a web search for their web site. If I knew how to set up a link, I would.

[Craig Irwin]

They say walmart, local walmart don't have it.

What artists are in it? Is it all or mostly Trosley?

Trosley in it. But, by no means the only artist. At most he's doing only two or three pieces in the issues I've seen so far. He's there and still my favorite. But, there is plenty of others art in their besides his.

By the way, no Krass and Bernie. They are replaced by a guy and gal called Deuce and Pnstripe. But, their stories are really not that all different from Krass and Bernie.

This surprises me not at all, as almost all the K&B stories are pretty much the same.

Thanks for the review. Any of the other old-timers in it, like Dewey or Millar?

[Craig Irwin]

I'm an OLD timer, I'd love to see Unk and 'them Varmits, even if they were just re prints. Never cared for K & B.

[Nova-ss]

ok..so is it still called cartoons?...I haven't seen it yet. 

[Darren B]

If you have a hastings or barnes and noble in your area I have seen them at both outlets....

[unclescott58]

I've yet to see one in any store around here. The magazine is published up in Thunderbay, Ontario, you'd think as close we are to them here in lower 48, we would have magazine all over the place. Darren can get them at stores in New Mexico? But, we can not in Minnesota? How does that work? I love the new version of the magazine. But, I've had to get my issues directly from the publisher in Canada. Thankfully I got a subscription.
