Work by hot-rod artist Robert Williams:

Quite prolific: http://www.amazon.com/The-Hot-World-Robt-Williams/dp/0760326606/ref=pd_sim_b_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=00KRBA0X0MMYE0MXXVAH

I like the Robert Williams picture above. As for hot rod comics, there is a reason you don't see many today. The only good one was Cartoons put out by Petersen Publishing. And really only Krass and Bernie were all that good in that with any constancy. I do miss Cartoons though. And wish it was still around.

I loved reading CarToons when I was a kid. Wasn't there a character named Flathead McGurk in that mag as well ?

Krass and Bernie were nothing, Unk and them Varmits were king!

It was Stroker McGurk ant Temple McFlathead, but they were in different mags.

[unclescott58]

I wish somebody would put out a book of Krass and Bernie comics.

Stroker McGurk did appear in CarToons in some of the late issues, about the same time that they reprinted the Unk and the Varmints strips.

BTW, I still have every issue of CarToons I ever got, from the mid '80s all the way to the last issue. I actually was one of the first subscribers when they finally made them available (1985). I recall they gave me the option of either Hot Rod (which I aleady had a sub to at the time, along with 4 Wheel & Off Road) or Car Craft to finish out the sub when they stop publishing CarToons. I went with Car Craft.

Thanks Bill, I already found the link to Trosley's web site to buy the book. As soon as I have a little more cash I'll have to buy one. But, your comment on being "one of the first subscribers" to CarToons in 1985 has me confused? I have a sprinkling of CarToons going back into the 1960's.

Here we go.

Looking at this cover, I have a new respect for Archie.

Scott

[Craig Irwin]

I've never seen Archie's car drawn as anything but a clapped out junker. Is there a date on that issue?

ditto I enjoy their monkey wrenching around antics, kinda really reminds me of the current status of hot rod magazine and their project road kill series/ segments except krass and Bern is better I.m.o

[MsDano85gt]

While CarToons was published starting in '59 (quarterly, went bi-monthly in '62), they did not offer a subscription to it until '85. Before then, it was strictly a news stand or magazine rack item.
