Surfing & googling I found this. I am sure you know that my father, Pete Millar, creater CARtoons along with Carl Kohler. In fact I just found some orignal scetches of ideas for the birth of CARtoon (from the 50′s)

If it’s not bad form to self-proote here, I’d like to mention that today’s CARzyBlog subject is how one publishing company dealt with thousands of pages of original artwork.

There were lots of readers in Canada, too. But yes, SoCal and the South were probably the biggest markets.

I was told the circulation hovered around 100,000 copies sold per issue. For over 25 years. Not bad for a mag that didn’t carry ads for most of its life.

This is a great addition to the internet. Here is a niche market of cartoons that thrived from the 50′s till the early 80′s. I never understood the attraction of car and cartoons, I guess it was a transition period from tween to teenager. Your love for comics and cars entwined till you moved on to girls. I would guess these magazines were popular in California and Southern states where the cult of the car and women go hand in hand.(pun)
