Inbetweens: Ralph Yardley’s “Alonzo”
“Alonzo” strip, drawn by Paul Terry
Here is a collection of obscure comic strips starring the dog character “Alonzo”, courtesy of the newspaper comic website Stripper’s Guide.
The series was created by Ralph Yardley, but it rotated through several different artists, most notably the future creator of TerryToons, Paul Terry.

Presenting Rear Admiral / Okinawa![]()
First Motion Picture Unit (ca. 1945)
In our last Reference Pack, we presented a film called "Night Battle", produced by the First Motion Picture Unit to train the Navy about strategic operations in the Pacific. This time we include a film called "Presenting Rear Admiral A. S. Merrill USN”, which appears to be a truncated version of the earlier film. Also included in this month’s Reference Pack is a training film on the battle of Okinawa, which includes some impeccably designed map graphics tracing the details of the Allied forces’ success there. These two films don’t include as much animation as our previous downloads, but they were a part of Paul Fennell’s personal collection, so we include them here for the sake of completeness. We thank the family of Paul Fennell for allowing us to bring these rare films to you.
