Silly Symphonies was an American Sunday comic strip by The Walt Disney Company. The first Silly Symphonies strip to be published was Bucky Bug which debuted in American newspapers on January 10 , 1932. The strip was distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Background

The first cartoon created for Silly Symphonies was the black-and-white feature Skeleton Dance and it was released on May 10, 1929. This would be the beginning of an era for viewers of "talkies" because it was combining animated black-and-white cartoons with voice. Over the next two decades, the animated cartoons would move into color, and wonderfully depicted by the academic film and television journal, Screen describes the change, ‘All that has been dry, ugly and often in bad taste in black-and-white animation has disappeared; animation in colour is more supple, more fluid and, far from finding itself diminished, the fantasy which we have the right to demand from films of this genre is singularly enlarged’[1].

Publication history

January 10, 1932 was the date the first Silly Symphony Sunday comic strip debuted. It was publisized in newspapers as in conjunction to the Floyd Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse daily newspaper strip. In difference to the Mickey Mouse strip which was published in black-and-white one row strip format, the Silly Symphony Sunday strip was a whole Sunday page and in full color. The very first installments of the strip was written, drawn and inked by Earl Duvall, with the story entirely told in rhyme, both narration wise and in all character's speech balloons. Duvall only worked fully on his own with the strip from its launch in January 1932 until May the same year, he then passed on the pencilling and inking chores to Al Taliaferro. Duvall continued to write the story for the strip until he left Disney in 1933, the man who took over the writing was Ted Osborne. [2]

Featured comic strips in chronological order

Bucky Bug

Introduced January 10 , 1932, as an unnamed boy bug in the first Silly Symphony comic strip just titled: Silly Symphonies, the character who was later to be named Bucky Bug appeared. The idea of having the name of the main character unnamed in the start of the comic strip was in order to hold a reader contest were all the readers could submit their proposed names for the bug boy to their newspapers via mail. The winning name suggestion came to be: Bucky (sometimes early on the strip's run also spelled Buckey.). Native to Junkville, a tiny bug scale town made up from human litter and scarp where a community of insects live. The run of Bucky Bug as a Silly Symphonies comic strip came to last until March 4, 1934 when the final story line, Return to Junkville finished.[2] By this time 109 Sunday pages of Bucky Bug had been produced.[3]

The Bucky Bug strips were produced by accordingly by following people: January 10, 1932 - April 1932, written, penciled and inked by Earl Duvall; April 1932 - early 1933, wtitten by Duvall, penciled and inked by Al Taliaferro; early 1933 - late 1933, written by Ted Osborne, penciled and inked by Taliaferro; late 1933 - March 4, 1934, written by Merrill deMaris, penciled and inked by Taliaferro.[4]

During this comic strip's early months of running in the newspapers, just after the Bucky name became official, Walt Disney Animation Studios began to work on a feature short animation of the new star Bucky Bug, under the working title Bug Symphony.
