The stories were set in the peaceful small town of Shadyside\u003cbr\u003e\nwhere Freckles McGoosey and his various friends lived. Freckles may appear at first blush to be yet\u003cbr\u003e\nanother redheaded teenage humor protagonist. His comic strip actually predates other red headed\u003cbr\u003e\ncharacters Hap Hazard, Henry Brewster and that Andrews kid. He had a goofy sidekick named Lard,\u003cbr\u003e\nand the girls at his high school were, of course, beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough Freckles and His Friends lasted more than half a century and was syndicated in nearly 700\u003cbr\u003e\nnewspapers, the strip was never adapted to radio, movies or television. It also was not a well known\u003cbr\u003e\ncomic book series. For all the series longevity in newspapers as a strip, it only had two comic series. The\u003cbr\u003e\nfirst comic book series, published by Standard (Nedor) late in 1947 only lasted eight issues. The second\u003cbr\u003e\nseries was published by Argo in 1955 and lasted all of four issues. The first series, by Standard started at\u003cbr\u003e\n#5 and ran until issue 12. The second series began at issue #1 and went until issue #4, so the publishing\u003cbr\u003e\nsequence is #5-12 then #1-4É.weird.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RETRO COMIC REPRINTS","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44337410113697,"sku":"9798889013808","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/zmm45zy-front-shortedge-384_d80d8670-00c9-44a8-b583-e5d170485908.jpg?v=1747585037","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/freckles-and-his-friends-volume-two-standard-color-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
