One of the downsides for doing a blog like this one, is that while my opinions change over time there is not always an appropriate post to remark on those changes. My feeling right now is that “Dizzy Date” was drawn by Jack Kirby

I want to add my voice to Ger’s regarding Lindy Hopp and #1′s un-mentioned “Dizzy Date” featuring Tom, Dick and Harriet, as being by Kirby.

Also, in “Lindy Hopp,” the character in the hat is Swifty Chase’s pal “Solid” Jackson. The uppercase L and I are touching in that first balloon. (“Bumpy” Rhodes owns the garage where Swifty works.)

I am unfamiliar with Dave Berg. My database only has one record for a piece by him; a Hillman Clue story. As such I will keep your suggestion in mind when I post about the Hillman crime stuff.

When I originally wrote my post I did not feel Lindy Hopp was by Kirby. I am still not convinced but your comments have me reconsidering my position.

Lindy Hopp looks like Kirby do a different style to me. The only thing holding me back is the fact that you didn’t pick up on it. The cicular panel. The girl and the guy in the back of the third panel..

Frank Frazetta huh? Wouldn’t that be something. I have a reprint of some of his romance work. I’ll have to check that out.

My motto concerning the GCD is trust but verify. But if true that would probably mean that Hillman introduced Barry to S&K.

Great work as always. Just a couple things. The Rosebud Sisters appeared also in Crime detective Comics in at least a couple issues. These were after the My Date appearance so the one you highlight is probably the first.

I would swear that “Genius…That’s What” is early Frank Frazetta- thought I have only seen a few examples.

Dan Barry worked for Hillman as far back as 1943, but I don’t see any overlap with S&K until they showed up at Hillman in 1947.
