JIT 4 Halloween, Oona's Haunted House

[malaprop]

One of my favorite series from Dell in the '50s was John Stanley's Oona Goosepimple, who appeared in the Nancy stories in Nancy and Sluggo. Now good ol Bob Overstreet says the Stanley Oona Goosepimple Haunted House arc was N & S #166-176. Once again I must disagree. This is the first Oona story, by Stanley, from #162 (Jan. '59), and as you'll see, it has her haunted house in it. Although these weren't really scary (c'mon, it's a Dell comic for little kids) it definitely has a creepiness factor. There's an overstuffed easy chair that sucks Nancy into it somewhere in the series, and I've always hesitated about sitting them ever since. I've got them all if anyone wants to see more.

This is a NM copy, so forgive me if I was a little hesitant about pushing the pages too flat on the scanner.

Anytime, J-nine.

Fun story. It reminds of of the classic cartoon Porky (Pig) in Wackyland.

Well that's plenty enough encouragement for me, here's the episode from Nancy #166. There was another Oona store in #164 (and maybe 165, I didn't check) but it wasn't in the haunted house.

By the way, sorry about deleting the earlier story. I thought I would delete them from photobucket so they wouldn't get mixed up with new ones, it didn't occur to me that would delete them here too.
