Thanks! :D I actually had to remove a lot of the older ones from May because I hit the attachment limit. But I do have some cool replacements.

To wit... this one, from an Andy Panda comic, a creation of Walter Lantz of Woody Woodpecker fame. Andy and his bud Charlie Chicken get into serious trouble in the swamps. This is a pretty dramatic sink for a funny animal comic, I thought...

The story is called Swamp Pirates...

I'd say Walter Lantz definitely knows how to draw outstanding Quicksand Scenery for a cartoon comic as well as make the quicksand grip, stretch, and react to its victims' struggles. Definitely one of the better looking comic/cartoon quicksand I've come across in some time. Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Thnaks, WB! :D I caught this one years ago in an old reprint digest I found at my cousin's place. The scene just stuck inside my head for more than 30 years... so vivid was the memory of this. Glad it held up... :)

Here's some random Sheena quicksand scenes. From the original 1940s and 50s comic...

A few more. One bit is more of a slog than a sink, but I think it still works.... :)

Oh, yes, you found some nice ones! :D The one of the brunette in the short red dress who's calf-deep in mud is rather nice. Thanks for sharing!
