"Greetings From Panama,NY" created NyceColor Comics, Vernfield, PA Panama Fishing Postcards by Juan Wilson © 2001 The Gobbler: Winter Thaw This is for those of you who fish the spring streams, creeks, ponds and lakes of Chautauqua County. We know it's never too early to start thinking and equiping yourtself for the coming season. These cards were purchased at Schiller's General Store on Panama, New York , in 1978. From the look of the dard display and the condition of the cards I would guess the cards had sat, year after year, for about twenty years before I bought them. There were several otyher cards in this series, but I only got these four and never mailed any off. It was the comic style that caught my attention. It reminded my of cartoons from the 20's and 30's; "The Katzenjammer Twins", "Mutt & Jeff", and even "Rube Goldberg". Today, the subject of many "local" postcards are of bikini clad Playmates or baby-oiled stud-muffins. Although the fishing postcards didn't have much directly to do with Panama, they do remind be of Lake Chautauqua in the 50's. Home
