Friday's Favorite OTR

 Phil Harris & Alice Faye: "An Elephant for Mr. Scott" 12/14/52

Phil is led to believe that his show's sponsor wants an elephant for Christmas. So Phil sets out to get him an elephant for Christmas. What could possibly go wrong?

With this blog closing down soon, I'm afraid this is the last Friday's Favorite OTR post.

The End of an Era

 

Gee whiz, I've been doing this blog since 2007.

Over the last year, though, I've started a Substack blog on which I review every book I read and I've started a BookTube channel on YouTube. Both get a relatively low number of hits, but I'm enjoying doing this and my few YouTube viewers are kind enough to give me a bunch of likes for each video, letting me know that there's at least a few people enjoying them.

So, to make time for those ventures, I'm afraid I'm going to bring this blog to a close. There's one more Friday's Favorite OTR scheduled for Friday and I have Monday Cover Cavalcade posts ready for September ("Lex Luthor Month") and October ("Marvel Classic Comics Month"). But after that'll be all.

I am going to start including reviews of old and often obscure comic books on my Substack, so that will continue. It will just be a little less frequent. 

Anyway, I've never been sure how many readers I have here. There's 130 listed as Followers. Individual posts show anywhere from 50 to 100 views per post, but my daily stats often show thousands of hits per day. I'm pretty sure the daily stats include some sort of bot activity. It's nice to think that thousands flock to my blog each day, but that seems unlikely. 

For those of you who have been following this blog--thank you for doing so and I hope you've enjoyed what you've read. As I said, I'll at least occasionally including comic book reviews on my Books Worth Reading substack, so keep an eye out for that. 

I do hope many of you will follow along with my Books Worth Reading ventures, but whether you do or not, I'm sincerely grateful for the time you've spent reading this blog.
