The last one:  I don't recognize this; but, the style appears very Franco-Belgian; or, at least, European. I assume this is before Bill Waterson's "Calvin and Hobbes"? I wonder if he was influenced by the cat's shape. |

I wonder if he was influenced by the cat's shape. His stated influences are Herriman's Krazy Kat, Kelly's Pogo, and Schulz's Peanuts. Hobbes' personality was very much based on a cat, named Sprite, that Watterson had. The bodytype is fairly standard in animation and comics. Both use the dumbbell configuration for bodies. |

The style definitely looks like Boltinoff and here is one with the mother, which looks like the woman at the door...  I thought they limited the product placement to Cap's Hobby Hints. |

Thank you all. These were published in Egypt circa 1960. Some seem to be British, like that one featuring the tiger.  |

It's kind of weird to see my thread resurrected, but if it helped answer beyonder's questions I'm glad it was.
