BELDA TALKING KOMICS

Week 25


Description

This rare series had a similar concept to Capitol and RCA read-along albums except rather than the storybook being part of the album, the young listener received a separate comic book to follow as the record played.  A total of eight Talking Komics titles were released along with the "Mysto-Magic" record, which would play a different nursery tune every time!  Happy Grasshopper features the voice of Daws Butler, whose long list of cartoon characters include Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Wally Gator and Elroy Jetson.  Actor Marvin Miller's (Lonesome Octopus) distinguished career included film and voice work, including Aquaman and several other cartoons  See Week 40 of the 2005 year for more Belda recordings!
