Happy belated birthday S.J. Perelman born Feb 1, 1904. The renowned comedy writer told a New York Times Magazine interviewer in 1969: "My chief interest always was to be a cartoonist."“... and I began very early to draw cartoons in my father’s store on the long cardboard strips around which the bolts of Amoskeag cotton and ginghams were stored.”
The rest is at the Brooklyn Eagle site.
