Yes, I think Girl and Tammy would have been arguably the worst merger in girls comics because one was picture story and the other photostory. Incompatible! Girl would have to sacrifice some of her photo stories toMarionette wrote:I've been in communication with someone who owns the relevant issues of Girl. He informs me that the only comics running in Girl while it had Tammy's masthead are Tracy's Magic Birthday and Patty's World as well as a couple of photostrips. He's now checking the issues between the last issue of Tammy in June and the appearance of the Tammy masthead in August.
It does occur to me that with the rise of photostrips in that period, at least the cancellation saved us from that horror.
make way for Tammy stories, but I think it more likely Tammy would have been rapidly reduced in Girl. Girl is for mergers with other photostory comics like Dreamer.
Anyway, I thank your friend for checking the Girls. I wonder if Girl readers were puzzled as to why the Tammy logo was there or if they understood it was a merger but not going the way mergers usually do?
