But Murry also created gags for several other magazines, among them he worked for 'Humorama', a division of Martin Goodman's publishing firm (Goodman founded Timely Comics, which turned into Marvel Comics in 1961). Humorama's magazines published pin up cartoons and a whole lot of naughty photo's of Betty Page and many other strippers/actresses in the 1950's and 1960's!
Here is another gag from Murry for 'Humorama', with the preliminary version below:
Some more quick gags, a little rougher, preliminary versions with pencil only. To identify his drawings (which he send to publishers), all gags cary visibly notable his peronal address at the time, on the reverse side (top left).
Flipped horizontally, adding more contrast and changing the exposure, clearly shows Mr. Murry lived on 1300 S. (South) Orange Street in Glendale, California during his time at the Disney Studios: this location.
The spicy drawings show a different address for Mr. Murry, 760 W. Avenue H-7, Lancaster California, which is this location today. These houses were build in 1957, which is exactly the time period Goodman's company published their line of 'Humorama' magazines.
