Back in December, I wrote about the original art for the 1930s Yippy pinback button<\/a> that was part of an excellent set of such buttons given away at movie theaters. Well, Heritage Auctions recently sold two more Scrappy-related pieces of art from the series. And even though they didn\u2019t end up in the Scrappyland collection, I\u2019m pleased to know they still exist and have found a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s Scrappy himself\u2014one of the best drawings I\u2019ve seen of him, although I wasn\u2019t aware until now that he has buck teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n

And here\u2019s Vontzy\u2014better known as Oopy. In fact, this is the only example of him being identified as Vontzy for a merchandising project that I know about off the top of my head, although that was what Dick Huemer originally called him. (Oopy was a more dignified stage name, I guess.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as I know, the set included five Mintz buttons: Scrappy, Vontzy, Yippy, Krazy Kat, and Krazy\u2019s canine girlfriend Kitty. I own the art for Yippy and Kitty, but there were variants of the Yippy button, at least, with different drawings, so one Yippy is still at large. Krazy is also still missing. Here\u2019s hoping they remain extant and in good hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
