Uncle Stan is not making stuff up. I bought a set of DVD’s from the clearance bin of one of the *Mart stores with like 500 classic cartoons on them, and one of the cartoons is that first Casper with the fox. The whole cartoon is very sad, much like the opening to Bambi except worse, so I think it was later “swept under the carpet” as Harvey got more slapstick and silly.

Don’t you people know anything, Ritchie Rich was Bruce Wayne’s nickname from before his parents got shot.

Ghost mommies give birth to ghost babies? I suppose that’s what they mean by ‘phantom pregnancies’…

Uncle Stan? You mean Uncle ALFRED (Harvey), don’t you? As to “who” Casper was, he was just a boy, nobody famous. Never mind the revisionist stuff – he didn’t become famous until he became Casper the ghost – duh!

And what’s up with the continuing nonsense about casper being Ritchie?! Casper was already a ghost long before Ritchie was even around!

Gabe’s insistance that he has Archie and Harvey material at his site makes me wonder if he actually believes it’s there, and is just giving the wrong link (or the material is not easily visible)?

Gabe: how about trying to post a few direct links directly to some of those articles you mention? Because if they really are contained on that completely-not-comic-related myspace, they’re clearly not easily found.

Actually I address the Casper origin issue in David Feldman’s excellent book, “Do Elephants Jump?”, one of his many “Imponderables” books. Feldman contacted me a few years ago about it and the book was published in 2004 with comments by me about “Who was Casper the Friendly Ghost before he died?” It’s available through my website at http://thft.home.att.net or in most bookstores.

spam site…! where is the spam?? thats obviously one of my sites. as it is, i contest you to find anyone with a bigger archive of Harvey/Archie/Red Circle material. included stuff i have are:

-interview with Ernie Colon (about his Richie Rich work)
-interview with Dick Ayers
-articles from the 70s and 80s about Harvey Comics
-original sketches of Harvey’s “Black Cat”

so what scam am I seemingly trying to run?? i dont have a page counter. im sorry i gave the wrong link. but gorjus, you need to settle down man.

Sigh. Well, I got tricked into going to the Gabe Carey spam site . . . did anyone else?

Far more interesting than the Moe the Hare story (it’s at best for the hardcore Harvey fan, and just trivia, not an urban legend) was the great discussion in the comments about Casper the Dead Boy. Urban Legends is always my favorite feature on CSBG, so please keep them coming!

D’oh!

I should have linked to that above.

Sorry, Mark!

im sorry guys, try *this* link. i’ve been building an online archive of articles on Archie and Harvey for some time. im not trying to trick you into my MySpace sites, but thats the only place i have the archive up right now.

To Gabe Carey:

Sorry, but Brian is right. The link in your name in the yellow bar above your posting, #8 on this thread, takes me also to a MySpace page about Sigmund & Edmund. There’s nothing there about Harvey comic/cartoon characters, unless a link is mislabeled or something.

By: Brian Cronin

Brian Cronin — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:44:13 +0000

All I get is a link to a myspace page for Sigmund & Edmund.

what do you mean? theres a big link to my Archie Comics/Harvey Comics stuff…

By: Mark

I’m pretty skeptical but I can’t believe Uncle Stan made up Foxy. Harvey Comics must have came up with the retcon to seem less ghoulish.

Or Superboy punched another wall.
