You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

Chipmunks On Haunted Hill

Alvin and the Chipmunks have gone through many iterations over the years, but my favorite look for these rascally vocalists is how they appeared in their own 1960s TV show. Titled The Alvin Show (sorry, Simon and Theodore), this animated television show debuted on CBS in 1961. As you can see from this cover of the tie-in comic book, the winning character design is in the favored UPA-type stylization of the era, and I love it. This 1964 issue of the comic features a frightfully haunted house theme that fits in perfectly with our Countdown to Halloween 2024.
