Yeah, not so much with other people posting climbing cartoons.
I found another thread that mentioned William Neely and that one of his books HAS some climbing cartoons, but the comment didn't have links. I looked up the book. The kayak cartoons were funnier than the climbing cartoons.
Too bad. I thought this'd be a more entertaining thread.

So, you thought climbing cartoons are entertaining? HAHAHAHAHA.
Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.

NOW we're talking! These are great! And yeah, I agree with you about Wm Nealy. He was fantastic. I found his work because I kayaked. Used to find my way around with dogeared copies of his 'Whitewater Home Companion' books. I wish I could have met him. That would have been cool. I found his climbing cartoons in 'The Nealy Way of Knowledge', which was wedged in my bookshelf for years. It was nice having a reason to go find it and pick through it again. Stand by what I said- his kayak cartoons (at least in that book) seem more in tune than that climbing cartoons.

Not sure if he thought of himself as a cartoonist, or a writer of "comic strips," but Herge had it down. (Tami knows who I'm talking about) And his understanding of climbing is instantly obvious when you look at his work.
Tintin in Tibet is full of climbing, as is (I think) Prisoners of the Sun.

How about comic books?
A classic Carl Barks story in Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge # 26 June 1959
It's story has the ducks finding a treasure map in a Spanish Galleon Scrooge donated to Duckburg.
This line that has stuck with me since I first read it in 1959:
We Climb until there is more sky below us than above us.

Tami: Re Scrooge McDuck has dodgy technique
Are you suggesting he??? climbs like a duck??
Isn't that a inter-species ethnophaulism?

More from the Scrooge McDuck by Carl Barks tale. I have not posted the first few cartoons of where Scrooge and the nephews find the Pizzaro-era treasure map to the "Lost Gold mines of the Incas."
A great Carl Barks story from 1959: that has stayed with me all these years.
Here's the adventurous part of the tale!

Do you remember an earlier one where Scrooge shaped his cash stash into the Matterhorn?

MH2. Wow! I don't have that one and never read it.
Carl Barks stories are "the bomb."
He wrote a bunch of "Duck Adventures" in the late 40's and 50's.
Besides the story I am posting----the one that stands out in my memory is Scrooge and his equally rich rival (Flintheart Glomgold) settling the question of "who is the richest duck on Earth" by unrolling their 6' thick balls of saved string up through the wilds of South Africa.
A tale that Fatradd would enjoy!

Love that old Scrooge McDuck adventure series. I enjoyed those most as a kid. Looks like George Lucas had a copy of that same book when they were working on Indiana Jones.

I always liked the one with three guys belaying at the base of a cliff. From above a voice yells, "OFF BELAY." The three guys all unclip and yell, "BELAY OFF!"
Also, I had a great idea for one: A guy is climbing with no rack. He gets to a crack, looks to his left and holds out his hand and says, "0.75 Camelot." His gear caddy then removes a cover off the cam and hands it to him...(this would be much funnier in an actual cartoon!)
