Equally uniting these senior comics, they are not household names and were never stars (and never will be), yet they have managed to make a living over the decades doing their shtick in venues across the country.
Stone contends that older comics were (and are) concerned with keeping an audience happy and entertained, if for no other reason than fear of not being hired again.

 Cornelius Stone Comments
I've met Eric Resetar (Pioneer comic creator in New Zealand during the 1940's) now, in fact I had dinner with him and others the other night, but at the time, the only other locals to be aware of were Strips, who showed us such people as the phenomenally good Colin Wilson and Barry Linton.
Not in New Zealand or England or the States.....where comics are a predominantly trash culture.
Of course, I figure Bill Jemas and Joe Quasada at Marvel have looked at how many people are going to be buying their movie-franchise characters anyway, and decided the more interesting gamble is to make their books PG rated, which they are now, and just to get on with it.

 The Stone Age Of Comics, part 1
Going back centuries, we can look at one early ancestor on the family tree, the "broadside." First published in Europe in the thirteenth century, broadsides were not only used by local authorities to spread news and official announcements but as a form of entertainment.
Later innovations in printing, such as copper engraving and lithography, resulted in cleaner text reproduction, but the new processes were unable to match one advantage of the crudely printed broadsides in that they were unable to easily combine text and pictures on one page.
The next step on the evolutionary road to modern comics was the birth of the monthly comic book in 1922.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Turok, Son of Stone
The most famous of these Dell Comics originals was Pogo, but the one that lasted longest as a Dell title was Turok, Son of Stone.
A decade later, Valiant Comics, then run by Jim Shooter, whose credits range from writing The Legion of Super Heroes at age 13, to a highly controversial stint as Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, licensed Turok from Western Printing.
But Valiant, not content with the premise that had sustained the comic for 28 years, moved the lost valley from an inadequately-explored part of North America's past (probably the Dakota badlands) to an alien dimension, and changed the dinosaurs from mere dangerous animals to intelligent "bionosaurs", bent on malice.

Midwest Bloggin has a post about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, saying that that it's a "lousy story." I tried to post a comment in response, but Haloscan seemed to be having problems.
This makes Rudolph a mutant, and -- as in the X-Men comic books -- he is therefore subjected to persecution by non-mutants, because they percieve that the new race of mutants is a threat.
Since comic books used to have letters pages where they would publish letters from fans nitpicking details, James asked for readers to send letters of that type so he could post them on the website.

Spelt, a Stone Age staple, gains favor as a substitute for wheat
Spelt was likely long established before Moses beseeched the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, and Ezekiel created his mixed-grain dough.
Scientists theorize spelt originated in the mid-to-late Stone Age 6000-5000 B.C. (approximating the historical record of Genesis), in what is present-day Iran.

 Dean's Den: The Metropolitan Museum of Mesozoic Memorabilia
It is typical of him to send a visitor home with a shopping bag filled with duplicate dinosaur books, "just to start off their collection." In fact, books -- comic books, pulps, magazines and hardcover volumes -- make up the largest portion of the Hannotte dinosaur collection.
Over the collector's bed, a tyrannosaurus crushes an armored tank on the cover of a pulp magazine of World War II vintage which reads: "Blitzkrieg in the Past." "I don't think there's any book on dinosaurs in the last 30 years that I don't have," Hannotte ventured to say.
Comic books have long been fertile terrain for dinosaurs and Hannotte has accumulated boxes of them, including the popular "Turok, Son of Stone" series and DC Comics' "Star Spangled War Stories," in which dinosaurs battled with airplanes.
