Who Drew This?
Jeffrey Meyer on his Goofbutton blog asks who drew these wonderful 1950s cartoon illustrations from Handyman magazine. Go see.

Thanks Mike! Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this...
Man, that style looks so familiar. I don't have a ton of books and such to research the question, but it's going to bug me all day.
I think it looks like rasscally Roy Doty's work.
or more like RASCALLY Roy ...
Nope, its not Roy either.
Received the below email from Roy Doty this morning:
"Not sure who drew that spot. Lowell Hess sounds like a good guess. It was way before my days at Handyman."
Thanks for contacting Roy, Mike.
Jay Lynch has left a tantalizing comment at the post about who it might be: He suggests a Chicago illustrator named Don Margules. I'm not familiar with his work -- anyone?
I guarantee its not Lowell.
