Continuing my weekly postings of these rare Fleischer Studio promotional illustrations – this time from the May and June 1936 issues of in-house trade publication Paramount Sales News<\/em>. As summer winds down and work comes back full-swing, it’ll be even tougher to do these little Fleischer posts, but I’ll do my best to come through!<\/p>\n

This week, Bob Jaques reminded me in the comments of last week’s post that there’s been a definite change in the artist of these cartoons. It’s at least no longer exclusively (if at all) Hal Seeger’s work. Any educated (and I mean edjikated<\/em>) guesses are appreciated. Also note: an early use of the term “fandom” in the 6\/10 panel.<\/p>\n

Here are a few samples of what cartoon shorts the Paramount salesmen were pushing to theaters at the time these promotional pieces appeared in print. <\/p>\n
