Knockout Comic #511 (December 11, 1948)



"Tod and Annie Hear the Story of 'A Christmas Carol'" (Part 2)
Knockout Comic #511 (December 11, 1948) 
Artist: Hugh McNeill

Now Tod and Annie are ready for Mr. Print to tell the second part of "A Christmas Carol."

Let's "listen" in:





The Ghost of Christmas Past is the hardest to depict and I think the decision here to just depict it as a ray of light and a hand works well and doesn't clutter up the panels.

Apprentice Ebenezer and Dick Wilkins look appropriately young, it seems to me.

British kids in 1948 had to wait another week for the next part of the story, but like Tod and Annie, we only have to wait until tomorrow!
