April-June 1943<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paramount had a lot to promote in 1943. It appeared Famous Studios was on its way to rival the Hollywood cartoon studios in popularity and quality. The Popeye<\/em> cartoons were generally all winners, and the studio’s backbone would be switching to full Technicolor for the 1943-44 season. The color promotion doesn’t work particularly well, given the Sales News<\/em> panels are on standard newsprint. And May 13’s gag could only work in 1943!<\/p>\n

New series were gearing up: the Noveltoons<\/em> and Little Lulu<\/em>. The little charmer made her debut in Paramount Sales News<\/em> mimicking Paramount player Veronica Lake’s look. Lulu<\/em> would be a heavy selling point in the trades from here on.<\/p>\n

Then of course, there’s the revival no one asked for \u2014 everyone’s favorite, Spunky! And trust me, you haven’t<\/em> seen the last of him…<\/p>\n
