I remember sending you a copy of that special years back! Seeing all those characters animated was fun.
Yeah, the "spell out one-to-ten" rule seems to be ubiquitous, not just in comics. Sometimes I prefer just using 1-10 if it means taking up less space in dialogue balloons, but I digress.
Seems like your syndicate editor was following The Associated Press stylebook numbers rule. I just checked and it's still in force. I worked there for 33 years and I never knew why you had to spell out numbers up to 10 and use numerals above that either.

I remember watching The Fabulous Funnies when it aired. I watched it for the characters, I think my dad watched it for Loni Anderson.

I've had that happen with wrapping tape on a handle!
And one thing you can say about Loni Anderson: "Emerson Biggins!!"
Wow, just watched some of it on you tube. Complete with that old CBS Special intro!
