Very funny and well-drawn series of vignettes about a fictional narrow-gauge California railroad. Most of the jokes mean more to railroad buffs, but there's a lot of fun for everyone. ( ) A delightful set of cartoons from the USA. Carl Fallberg was a professional writer and cartoonist who worked in Hollywood, in particular for the great cartoon studios, Warner Bros. and Disney. In his spare time, he contributed cartoons to the magazine "Railroad" which concerned the rather "unique" narrow-gauge line in the Rockies, the Fiddletown & Copperopolis Railway. To me, a British reader, the cartoons seem in the style of a mix of Giles and Heath Robinson, with a dash of H.N. Bateman for good measure. The F&C is depicted as a classic backwoods railway, with all the codges, bodges and inventive shoe-string technology that such a railway might consider to be normal. Perhaps the most amazing thing to me is the fact that both Fiddletown and Copperopolis exist, though neither was ever connected to anywhere else by rail... sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This delightful collection of railroad cartoons by Fallberg of Walt Disney fame illustrates the trails and tribulations of a narrow gauge 'uncommon' carrier. To anyone familiar with the lore of America's three-foot railroad lines, the feeling persists that within these pages lies a disguised pictorial history of prototype narrow gauge railroads in a very humorous vein. The key word in Fallberg's illustrations is exaggeration. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
