Benton Jew - collect Roy Rogers comic strip by Toth?
Hey All. Benton Jew brought up a fantastic idea and challenge to all us Toth collectors - to collect Toth run ghosting Mike Ahrens on the "Roy Rogers" strip.
Benton wrote,
"A few years ago I bought an original Roy Rogers daily that Alex had ghosted for a few weeks. It would be nice to see the series of Toth-drawn ones all together online. I'd like to put out a challenge to the Tothfans to see if we can collect them all together on the site. Perhaps a folder can be put up on the "gallery" page and members can gradually add to it as the missing pieces are found. Alex apparently ghosted "Roy Roger" for Mike Ahrens between 12-19-1960 to 1-12-1961."
We already have Benton's page, plus an old scan I got from who knows where.
So are we up to the challenge? Is it possible to collect them all?
If you have scans or copies, email them to me at tothfans ~at~ yahoo.com.
