Funny Pictures Magazine May 1964

 

The May issue of Funny Pictures magazine had a comic strip about spaceflight I wanted to share. Funny Pictures was a Soviet children's magazine with joke, cartoons and stories. I like these charming stories and this one has a nice fantasy about a boy's dream about adventures in space.

The Main Star Man (1969)

 

 This book was based on the cartoon of the same name by Soyuzmultfilm studio. It is a fictional story of two brothers learning about astronomy and the history of looking in the sky. It is full of wonderful painted images.

G. Sapgir, G. Tsyferov. Drawn by V. Savydov and A. Vinokurov. The Main Star Man. Moscow : Bureau of Propaganda of Soviet Cinema. 20 p. 13 x 21 cm. 1969.

The Adventures of Toby Brite and Bobby (1953)

 

It is time again for the Adventures of Toby Brite and Bobby, toothbrush in space! I blogged about a different copy of this story in 2009 so it is time to see this again.

This version was a premium handed out at dentist and perhaps schools for dental education. As you can see it had been reprinted several times in this pamphlet form. The adventures of a boy and his talking toothbrush, who just happen to fly a space ship. Seriously, does the "space tie-in" get any more ridiculous?

No much space content but a good palate (teeth?) cleanser from the last few posts.
