Its a tradition. I keep it nailed up in the kitchen, by the door, so I can see it as I go in and out. I love his humorous and graphically geometric approach to depicting nature, particularly birds. </p><p><br /></p><p>From <a href="https://www.charleyharper.com/about-charley/about-charley.html" target="_blank">his official bio</a>: </p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Charley Harper (August 4, 1922–June 10, 2007) had an alternative way of looking at nature. His serigraphs were large expanses of rich color, which gave the viewer a very different perspective on the animal kingdom. A conservationist as well as an artist, Harper revealed the unique aspects of his wildlife subjects through highly stylized geometric reduction. Harper said he was 'the only wildlife artist who has never been compared to Audubon,' yet his wildlife art was just as instructive—the only difference was that Harper laced his lessons with humor. Harper believed that humor made it easier to encourage changes in our attitudes and awareness of environmental concerns."</p><p> Here are some early examples of his illustration work from the books Tin Lizzie (1955) and Dinner for Two (1958 edition). He was developing his style here. This is all thanks to the <a href="https://charleyharperprints.com/articles/tin-lizzie-dinner-for-two/" target="_blank">Charley Harper Prints site</a>. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

greatest and most beloved museums of North America, illustrated and
explored through fun and fascinating anecdotes. Curated by Bob Eckstein,
author of the New York Times bestseller Footnotes from the World's
Greatest Bookstores, this delightful twist on an art history book shows
these institutes in a way not seen before, illustrated in a lush and
idealized style.</p><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">
</div><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">The 75+ museums featured include the biggest and boldest names (MoMA,
the Whitney) and the more offbeat (Museum of Bad Art, the Museum of
Jurassic Technology). They span the US, Canada, and Mexico and include
those specializing in art, natural history, academia and science, and
more. The 155 original pieces of artwork illustrate a story about the
museum or showcase a particular work of art in its collection.</p><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">

at the age of 23 when he entered an amateur manga creator contest in
Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine. From there, Toriyama made a name for

1980. </p><p class="jsx-3649800006" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"In 1984, Toriyama published the
seminal fantasy action comedy shonen battle series Dragon Ball, which
would later spawn the immensely popular Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball
Super series. Dragon Ball's influence later inspired other like Eiichiro
Oda, Tite Kubo, and Masashi Kishimoto to create One Piece, Bleach,
Naruto, and classics. </p><p class="jsx-3649800006" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Toriyama also played an influential role in
gaming history, his art serving as the basis for Dragon Quest — one of
the very first console RPGs in Japan. In the mid-90s, Toriyama famously
teamed with Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and Final Fantasy creator
Hironobu Sakaguchi to make Chrono Trigger, which is still considered <a class="jsx-955973305 underlined" href="https://www.ign.com/lists/top-100-rpgs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">one of the finest games ever made</a>.</p><p class="jsx-3649800006" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"The last project Toriyama was reportedly working on was the original character designs for the upcoming <a class="jsx-955973305 underlined" href="https://www.ign.com/articles/new-dragon-ball-series-dragon-ball-daima-confirmed-for-fall-2024-nycc-2023">Dragon Ball Z spin-off series, Dragon Ball Daima</a>.

artist when he was just 16 years old, drawing the Argentine Western
comic book, Pancho Negro. In 1963, due to political instability in
Argentina, Delbo moved to Brazil, and then two years later, he moved to
the United States. His work as a Western comic book artist in Argentina
led to him working in Westerns for Charlton Comics in the United States,
most notably a long run on<em> Billy the Kid</em>.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"It was his Western work that got him his first gig working for Dell
Comics, as well, as he was hired to draw Dell's comic book adaptation of
the TV series, <em>The Big Valley</em>, in 1967. His work on that
series led to work on a number of Dell's other TV adaptation comics,
with Delbo drawing comic books based on <em>Hogan's Heroes</em>,<em> The Monkees</em>,<em> Gentle Ben</em>,<em> The Mod Squad</em>,<em> The Brady Bunch</em>,<em> Nanny and the Professor</em>,<em> The Young Rebels and The Young Lawyers</em>.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"In the early 1970s, with his Billy the Kid run coming to a close, Delbo began to work for DC, including a few issues of <em>Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen</em>, following Jack Kirby's iconic run on that series. Delbo then became the regular artist on <em>Wonder Woman</em> at the end of 1975, continuing to draw the book until the early 1980s.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"During that timeframe, Delbo also drew a number of other features for DC in anthologies, like <em>Superman Family</em>, <em>Batman Family</em> and <em>World's Finest Comics</em>.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers, reflected the new attitude of
environmentalism that overtook the world at this time. He continued to
work on beloved cartoon classics like Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, Little
Mermaid and the Mighty Ducks. He also drew the NFL Superpro hero who
teamed up with Spider-man to fight crime in the big city.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"It was during these years that Delbo ventured into the profession of teaching at <a href="https://www.kubertschool.edu/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Kubert School</a>
in Dover, New Jersey. He later went on to found 'Cartoon Camp' for
young cartoonists which was originally housed at the International
Museum of Cartoon Art in Boca Raton, Florida. Delbo’s attention to
detail and high expectations made a lasting impression on many of his
students. One former student <a href="https://www.jimkeefe.com/archives/tag/jose-delbo" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Jim Keefe</a> fondly recalls his classes with Delbo stating:</p><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">

</div><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Today, Delbo’s work hangs in museums and private collections around
the world. He’s been the recipient of a number of awards, including
Comic-Con’s coveted <a href="https://www.comic-con.org/awards/inkpot" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ink Pot Award</a>
for a lifetime of service to the comics industry. Artworks in his

Unseen in the States, here they are for your viewing enjoyment. Take it away (and thanks!), Dick!<br /> <br /> --- <br /> <br /> NEW YORKERS ABROAD<br /><br />Punch Cartoons by New Yorker cartoonists. 1966 - 1968<br /><br />Thanks to the miracle of fiction, today we travel to London, home of Punch Magazine, where the cartoon was born way back in 1843. <br /><br />In Great Britain, their work is described as “one joke cartoons,” and it’s drawn with brush, Indian ink on cartridge paper, occasionally with a monochrome wash. <br /><br />Several Punch cartoonists appeared in the pages of The New Yorker over the years, most notably Ronald Searle whose fabulous covers will be treasured by all for years to come. Some of the other Punch cartoonists to appear in The New Yorker were Michael Ffolkes, Leslie Starke, A.F. Wiles, L.H.Siggs, Kenneth Mahood and Punch editor Bernard Hollowood.<br /><br />Punch and New Yorker followers have bickered for decades over which venerable magazine is the most important. I agree with old Will Shakespeare who reminds us “The joke’s the thing!”<br /><br /><br />1. MICHAEL FFOLKES. Ffolkes (Brian Davis) documents Punch’s respect for The New Yorker with this cartoon from Punch, May 25, 1966.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkhoagRsFYLQbqKVl6VKMZ-L6iXMhRTdkbj7HU4VTqX_9UedkZOxX0dIjb1mOkmTiAyZS27HTtVyLV_cJ6WlBZwotes5DvVs2GuEuoxS9VctC_cNpkGwG23mdESNk0AgV-fO05/s1600/1.+FFOLKES+Punch+5+251966+1.jpeg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkhoagRsFYLQbqKVl6VKMZ-L6iXMhRTdkbj7HU4VTqX_9UedkZOxX0dIjb1mOkmTiAyZS27HTtVyLV_cJ6WlBZwotes5DvVs2GuEuoxS9VctC_cNpkGwG23mdESNk0AgV-fO05/s640/1.+FFOLKES+Punch+5+251966+1.jpeg" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> </p><p>2.

He was born March 10, 1912, so this Sunday is his 112th birthday. He was from Western Canada, and he moved east to the States. By the time he was 33 years old, he was living and working in New York City, and on his way to being one of the most published gag cartoonists. His work spanned gag cartooning as well as many syndicated features. You can always tell a Jeff Keate single panel cartoon because he wrote his signature neatly in upper case letters in the bottom right or left-hand side of the art, with one little line angled above his first name, and another under his last. </p><p>Dick Buchanan has a lot more, including 25 of Mr. Keate's published magazine cartoons from 1939 to 1969.

Published by Crown Publishers, New York, 1945.<br /><br /><br /> Robert Jefferson Keate, who signed his work Jeff Keate, was a prolific cartoonist whose work appeared in many national American magazines in mid-20th century America. Keate was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He was inspired to be a cartoonist by his father, who, rather than punish young Jeff for drawing on the walls, put frames around the scribbles.</p><p><br /> Keate left Canada to attend college in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Later he studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, class of 1936. For the next few years he remained in Chicago, drawing cartoons for Chicago newspapers by day and drawing gag cartoons to submit to magazines at night. Keate had one drawing in The New Yorker (1938) and his work began to appear in The Saturday Evening Post and Collier’s. He was also a writer for syndicated comic strips Dotty Dripple and Filbur McFudd. <br /> </p><p>In 1945 Keate moved to New York City and his career finally was on the fast track. At that time, he was selling 20 cartoons a week. Keate was one of seven contributors to the syndicated gag panel Today’s Laugh, which began September 1, 1947 with his cartoon. He began drawing Time Out! a sports oriented syndicated gag panel which ran from 1946 until 1984. And also drew the comic strip Rufus, which ran a single year, 1950. </p><p>Over the years his cartoons appeared in most of the prestigious major magazines, Collier’s, Look, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal, True, and This Week Magazine, as well as many minor magazines such as 1000 Jokes Magazine, Boys’ Life and the Humorama titles--Joker, Breezy, Jest, Romp, etc. His career as a magazine gag cartoonist spanned five decades, during which thousands of his drawings were published. </p><p><br /> Profiles of Jeff Keate often mention he dated legendary comedienne Phyllis Diller while he was living in Chicago, so we won’t bother to mention it here. However, we do know they were lifelong friends. <br /> In a 1950 interview with Editor & Publisher magazine Keate said his cartoons were drawn with no other meaning or purpose than a laugh. </p><p>In that spirit we have assembled a collection of Jeff Keate cartoons . . .</p><p> <br /><br />Collier’s December 23, 1939.</p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgENbnbDGnBVduliciUqO0eUyEq3ONSFC_133qu70KUSiZqFE9FOf2_vwji8qzAu-Oy3DZwB6vQ9bvMTV3BjxvHN_qkBbJousnUkA1QPbaHngzYKteN9zJIledxciYbyoxTQMOUa6N6d9uzvkFV6B0uGKjuE_m23yLhhL82lI7ZcsNHZX9W_Kfw/s1200/1.%20KEATE%20Colliers%201939%20December%2023%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

One movie that pops up on Turner Classic Movies is <a href="http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=1234&atid=1256">OH HEAVENLY DAYS</a>. ("Oh heavenly days," was an exclamation that Molly used when McGee did something outlandish; i.e., she said it a lot.)<br />
<br />
This 1944 B-picture is the last of a handful of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibber_McGee_and_Molly">Fibber McGee and Molly</a>
movies, and, from the description, is very much a
WWII propaganda picture.<br />
<br />
It's funny, but these old radio
shows remind me of my childhood in the 1970s, since that's when I first
heard the recordings. First, I listened to my Dad's Longines record
set, and then I checked some records out of the library -- I think that
companies like Radiola and Decca were releasing old time radio shows.<br />
<br />
Remember
those library "listening stations?!" I remember having to go to the
librarian, filling out cards and pieces of paper and being told I only
had an hour in the listening station, etc. And, in the stale-smelling
listening station cubicle: those big great metal turntables that looked
like they could survive an armed assault and the big clunky tone arms
that would sometimes have about 8oz. of dust clinging to them. And
those big, vinyl headphones you had to wear! Those big headphones
always made me rather hot and itchy after about 5 minutes. They were
definitely designed to be so ungainly that no sane individual would
ever consider for a moment trying to steal them. And when you were
finished, you had to walk back the librarian, and, standing there, s/he
would take the records out of the sleeves, looking for any scratches.
Always a serious visual inspection, both sides scrutinized for abuse,
before being allowed to take my nerdly leave.<br />
<br />
Jim
Jordan, "Fibber McGee" himself, had a special radio series one summer
(maybe in 1972 or 73) where he would play the old programs. There was
this gimmick in the show. The deal was (and suspend about 20 tons of
disbelief, OK?) that Fibber had his old Philco radio in the garage, and
would tell the listeners that it was full of old radio shows that he
hadn't listened to back in the day. These old shows were still inside
the radio tubes, waiting to be unleashed and heard. I remember listening
to these old comedies and thinking seriously -- maybe waay too
seriously -- about the structure of the jokes, the wordplay, the puns,
the way an actor could get a laugh just by the tone of his/her voice
(Titus Moody, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, Baby Snooks, etc.).<br />

<br />
Woody
Allen's RADIO DAYS film had it right: all of these people, all of
these beloved shows are dead because the way we listen to radio changed. <br />
<br />
Oh, and Eugene Pallette is in OH HEAVENLY DAYS. I love Eugene Pallette.<br />
<br />
Many
cartoonists and illustrators enjoy the old comedy, the ones we listened
to on those old records. And as my pal, and fellow old time comedy fan,
the award winning illustrator Sean Kelly, suggested to me: "That's why we're all so warped, today.... (Just like the old LPs!)"<br />

I pointed out that the <a href="https://www.moccafest.org/" target="_blank">MoCCA Fest</a> is next month and it’s a great opportunity to meet a lot of professionals. Bring a “leave behind:” a flyer, a business card, some stickers with your name on them. Something to physical that you impart so that person will have your information and your art. Actually, I passed out to them my own leave behind. It had a cartoon on it, with a client list and my Instagram and email info.<br /></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">I told them that I’m a freelancer. That means I have multiple income streams. These include teaching college classes, a cartoonist residency, giving a talk at the National Educational Administration, sales on Zazzle and Cartoonstock, helping publishers with rights clearances, selling originals, cartoon classes at libraries/museums, occasional book residuals, etc. One source is not enough. Many is the way I do it.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">You also have a future professional life where you shut the door and are alone in a room, creating stuff out of nothing. It's tough sometimes, but just because you are alone in your studio should not mean you are lonely. I like being alone, but one reason to be in the National Cartoonists Society or the Society of Illustrators is to keep in touch with people who have the same challenges as you do. And there is nothing new in the world. If you have a problem with a contract or a client or even something personal, reach out. Other artists, cartoonists and animators have had a similar experience and can offer help. And they will, too. Because they are some of the nicest professionals out there. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ct9uXsRVjJ8BCs7jgvlC6m72pQB-rq1jUqGxipR-GT46d_xwR67Pc6XcWJ3QDS6WgQETG6gF3n7DafMYfhtAARG8fHd1IeO11IHiHniZaey-UoXX1fONzVZsfiNnTRNnkKn4wlH4cbtEQtgTdjUyOhq57pQVj6iyHWpchvkgv04yAWBag6cZeA/s2048/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ct9uXsRVjJ8BCs7jgvlC6m72pQB-rq1jUqGxipR-GT46d_xwR67Pc6XcWJ3QDS6WgQETG6gF3n7DafMYfhtAARG8fHd1IeO11IHiHniZaey-UoXX1fONzVZsfiNnTRNnkKn4wlH4cbtEQtgTdjUyOhq57pQVj6iyHWpchvkgv04yAWBag6cZeA/w640-h480/02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVnAlOtLPvULbCJj17iEccoJ7sNUmor24FQ6JZgYlG1MO5fRFUPMjOB2BE84s7GRz1EhSeuLkk4XJFueyxh_Sawp7cbEr2X68ct7NKnvrIO4DOCtiLlt3A-QDM1z8U3i8xr6anVR-BoLhGPcu0VyA-3ciydMPVOVGrWbTAgIff3a6iBY8ZGDAnQ/s2048/03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVnAlOtLPvULbCJj17iEccoJ7sNUmor24FQ6JZgYlG1MO5fRFUPMjOB2BE84s7GRz1EhSeuLkk4XJFueyxh_Sawp7cbEr2X68ct7NKnvrIO4DOCtiLlt3A-QDM1z8U3i8xr6anVR-BoLhGPcu0VyA-3ciydMPVOVGrWbTAgIff3a6iBY8ZGDAnQ/w480-h640/03.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5mWp5GkwmpmSBsTQ99-V4FvboHuyWuV9riV25dRwmW229-pA9nmrnn0UUuIM-LD7pqYB-11rUk5PRhf4yW-yxb-wProTA7jGeYehAUZrGDiMCOgKKTCP3JFf3Hb3-83r-sEkhTL7Fzhy4-pXFby_Tvhbltwp-kaYMWBVaJ1_IQOR4-d99fcdCQ/s2048/04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5mWp5GkwmpmSBsTQ99-V4FvboHuyWuV9riV25dRwmW229-pA9nmrnn0UUuIM-LD7pqYB-11rUk5PRhf4yW-yxb-wProTA7jGeYehAUZrGDiMCOgKKTCP3JFf3Hb3-83r-sEkhTL7Fzhy4-pXFby_Tvhbltwp-kaYMWBVaJ1_IQOR4-d99fcdCQ/w480-h640/04.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7OyfNHcirAQJdYIBZrBd8Ur6BOUf35lZWezYTMzgF92QcvLo5HFvx7Qax7woMLoM1P3JRoggZW_JO-9XN4xwO9r_yrBS8YC7BFi3Dh621aT2SUdbLOA_ZwnB0kfJmD_tw-HbgkKKhSd_ZHxxp8p13HOtvZKZEGPxmsILv6PmRvxEnDigL8vW1Q/s2048/05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7OyfNHcirAQJdYIBZrBd8Ur6BOUf35lZWezYTMzgF92QcvLo5HFvx7Qax7woMLoM1P3JRoggZW_JO-9XN4xwO9r_yrBS8YC7BFi3Dh621aT2SUdbLOA_ZwnB0kfJmD_tw-HbgkKKhSd_ZHxxp8p13HOtvZKZEGPxmsILv6PmRvxEnDigL8vW1Q/w480-h640/05.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2_uBlE6d-Z_xVLSLfK60NnSlCLrO_ftZQiUNxbUDLw3zXrmMSJpXtgqVorF0H0UB05vM-wLNcn8mBocbwwy3uHi3L3h2-FEdDuSgi2llrlziHuBu5o8HellzbrbqeiIDzBfXVxNgLp5Xas8v2SH826JtO9Jvx7ajwWq4k7afsQu15U2a_s5_wSg/s2048/06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2_uBlE6d-Z_xVLSLfK60NnSlCLrO_ftZQiUNxbUDLw3zXrmMSJpXtgqVorF0H0UB05vM-wLNcn8mBocbwwy3uHi3L3h2-FEdDuSgi2llrlziHuBu5o8HellzbrbqeiIDzBfXVxNgLp5Xas8v2SH826JtO9Jvx7ajwWq4k7afsQu15U2a_s5_wSg/w640-h480/06.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div>Mike Lynchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06589354018554341768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-10564472348014493652024-02-29T08:56:00.004-05:002024-02-29T08:56:38.043-05:001913: Vitagraph Asks Winsor McCay If He Had Finished Drawing some "Film About Some Dinosaur Named Gertie" <p>Via <a href="https://inkslingers.ink/" target="_blank">Rob Stolzer</a> with gratitude:<br /><br /><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"<a href="http://johncanemaker.com/" target="_blank">John Canemaker</a> posted this historical gem on his FB page. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Stuart_Blackton" target="_blank">J.

collection of vintage magazine cartoons for your enjoyment. Look, you
can't do anything about the snow and ice and freezing rain and school
closings, so you might as well laugh about it. Thank you, Dick, for
sharing.<br />
<br />
--<br /><br />LET IT SNOW!<br />(1938 – 1962)<br /><br />No doubt about it, snow is
funny. That’s why we have reached deep into the Cartoon Clip File and
retrieved some gag cartoons about snow and ice. One thing’s for sure,
snow is funnier when viewed from afar so stay inside and enjoy these
cartoons from the past.<br />

And she cranked the clever art out week after week, year after year, until she left the comic strip biz in 1995.

Or to take for granted that you get to work with someone who's so freaking good. <br /> <br />"Ramona was one of the greats, and a few years ago I wrote her to make sure she knew that I knew.

With Doonesbury, Trudeau takes aim at the reckless and influential regardless of their party affiliation, making few friends in the process besides the papers that carry his comic strip – well, some of them, anyways.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"This past Sunday, many readers whose regional newspapers are owned by the multi-billion dollar, conservative-leaning mass media holding company Gannett flipped to the funny pages to find that Doonesbury was conspicuously missing from its usual position in the printing. Former Iowa State Representative and president of the Veterans National Recovery Center Bob Krause noticed that absence and made sure to show Twitter what Gannett hid from them.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Gannett owns almost 400 newspapers in the United States, including the national publication USA Today and local papers in 44 states, among which is Krause's Iowa, where the Des Moines Register followed company protocol and cut out the above strip from circulation. Apparently, Gannett didn't want its readers knowing that seven of the states in the U.S. Confederacy explicitly cited the issue of slavery in their declarations of secession. Gannett also doesn't want comic strip fans learning about how almost 100,000 white southerners chose loyalty to their country over preserving slavery as they fought for the Union during the Civil War.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">" ... The cognitive dissonance required to strike such a strip from publication proves the importance of the information Trudeau was trying to communicate as the hypocrisy of the conservative media continues to demonstrate that there is no greater enemy to their agenda than an informed populace." <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96He-5VemfsFeho2QibMJ7PgYpAWZcRZHC3Ae4HOCeYDZyemARona0KlKBgcyX5eFrC8-rnNkOTz9w7Puj2yR4kzUpd7Rf0s1A99Q-AFEjNLvNUsCALsZ39aWLeijpKHqZZ0_pIm7CEGXTBBvR34u0tXzaCgivH8RfizrBOdMsVjt4xvOTr5X3g/s654/Bob%20Krause%20Doonesbury.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96He-5VemfsFeho2QibMJ7PgYpAWZcRZHC3Ae4HOCeYDZyemARona0KlKBgcyX5eFrC8-rnNkOTz9w7Puj2yR4kzUpd7Rf0s1A99Q-AFEjNLvNUsCALsZ39aWLeijpKHqZZ0_pIm7CEGXTBBvR34u0tXzaCgivH8RfizrBOdMsVjt4xvOTr5X3g/w430-h640/Bob%20Krause%20Doonesbury.png" width="430" /></a></div><p></p><p> </p><p>Related:</p><a href="https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2024/02/20/the-great-gannett-comics-conspiracy-to-rid-the-nation-of-trudeaus-doonesbury/" target="_blank">DailyCartoonist: The Great Gannett Comics Conspiracy to Rid the Nation of G.

of these cartoons have one thing in common: no gag line. All are visual
jokes, and most are technically wordless. Wordless gags are, I believe,
the toughest to create, if you are a cartoonist. So, I appreciate all
of these more than the ones with words, you bet.</p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLwv7oUX_mwMaU5e_zChmgUWepXtkSwBxK2kV63iaZvSiLJu29Gdd87u_zCf2T89Aq7rgRjelnH8_U8_nZ4S6-Z0G1pQseaheA5Nf8DaXHeeMUpqkMuWMCrHsgMOuAN1eU08nV5JhwnKMUM-l7ygeyy_pdEGTtF9UsvAgwPltXOc56s8SsUkUauQ/s800/15%20back%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="605" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLwv7oUX_mwMaU5e_zChmgUWepXtkSwBxK2kV63iaZvSiLJu29Gdd87u_zCf2T89Aq7rgRjelnH8_U8_nZ4S6-Z0G1pQseaheA5Nf8DaXHeeMUpqkMuWMCrHsgMOuAN1eU08nV5JhwnKMUM-l7ygeyy_pdEGTtF9UsvAgwPltXOc56s8SsUkUauQ/w484-h640/15%20back%20cover.jpg" width="484" /></a><br /></p><p><br />A hat tip to my pal, cartoonist <a href="http://www.jklossner.com/">John Klossner</a>, who loaned me his copy of the BEST CARTOONS OF 1958.

His affair with the mother of cartoonist Bill Griffith (Zippy the Pinhead) was the subject of a graphic memoir by Girffith in 2015.<br /></p><p> </p><p style="text-align: left;">From the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1981/10/15/obituaries/lawrence-lariar.html">New York Times, October 15, 1981</a>:<br /><br /><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Lawrence Lariar, a cartoonist, editor and author of mystery novels, died Monday in Waterbury, Conn.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"He was 72 years old and lived in Southbury, Conn.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"For more than 20 years Mr. Lariar was cartoon editor of Parade magazine and before that he held a similar post at Liberty magazine.

He was a cartoonist for Collier's, making mystery stories in which cartoons and illustrations appeared as clues. In the 1930s he drew the comic strip 'Barry O'Neill', also published in early National/DC titles. In the 1940s and 1950s he scripted syndicated features like 'Ben Friday' (later 'Bantam Prince', with <a href="https://www.lambiek.net/artists/s/spranger_john.htm">John Spranger</a>) and 'The Thropp Family' (with <a href="https://www.lambiek.net/artists/f/fine.htm">Lou Fine</a> and <a href="https://www.lambiek.net/artists/k/komarisow_don.htm">Don Komarisow</a>). He created 'Inspector Keene' for Young American Magazine. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"> "Lariar wrote mystery novels under the names Michael Lawrence, Adam Knight and Michael Stark. For more than 20 years he was cartoon editor of Parade magazine. He has also worked for Liberty magazine, and edited anthologies like 'Best Cartoon of the Year' since 1942. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"> "His instruction manual, 'Cartooning For Everybody' (Crown Publishing, 1941), has been praised by cartoonist Don Orehek. </p><p></p><p> </p><p>I believe the Don Orehek quote is because that's what Don told me when he passed along Lariar's <i>Cartooning for Everybody</i>. I mentioned this in my <a href="https://mikelynchcartoons.blogspot.com/2011/08/sketches-from-cartooning-for-everybody.html" target="_blank">August 22, 2011 blog entry</a> about the book.</p><p><br /><br />As Bill Griffith described him in <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/bill-griffith-on-his-mothers-love-affair" target="_blank">The New Yorker</a>:</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"He was a gag cartoonist, primarily, but he dabbled in almost every field
of comics, from the nineteen-twenties to the nineteen-sixties."</p><p><br />Lawrence Lariar's affair with Bill Griffith's mother was the subject of Griffith's Eisner Award winning nonfiction graphic novel <i>Invisible Ink: My Mother’s Love Affair with a Famous Cartoonist</i> (2015). <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/bill-griffith-on-his-mothers-love-affair" target="_blank">The New Yorker interviewed him in its October 16, 2015 issue</a>:</p><p> </p><p class="paywall" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><em>"To act as a detective to try to find the man that
your mother is sleeping with—that sounds like the plot of a piece of
pulp fiction. What gave you the inspiration for this?</em></p><p class="paywall" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Well,
the book was inspired by a visit I made to my uncle, who is the only
family member of that generation still alive. He’s ninety-one years old,
and he lives in Winston Salem, North Carolina, and on a visit to him
three years ago or so, the subject of my mother’s possible affairs came
up. My mother had several affairs, and my aunt asked me if I knew if my
mother had an affair with my next-door neighbor, growing up in
Levittown, and I said no, I think that was probably too dangerous. But
then, of course, there was Lariar, and they asked me who that was—they
had no idea. When I thought about it later that night, it just kept
spinning around in my head; I started Googling Lariar. I hadn’t really
given him any thought since my mother actually first confessed the
affair to me very briefly, in 1972, after my father’s death (which did
not prompt me to ask any questions about it whatsoever, much to my
regret now). But, anyway, here I am, three years ago: I’m Googling
Lariar, and hundreds of images come up. The guy was an incredibly
prolific cartoonist and, within an hour or so of that, I realized I had a
graphic novel. I had a graphic memoir in my head—something I’d been
waiting to happen for twenty or thirty years. I always thought, Someday
I’ll do a graphic novel; what will it be? And here it was. It was handed
to me."</p><p class="paywall"> </p><p class="paywall"> </p><p class="paywall">Here's an excerpt from <i>Invisible Ink: My Mother’s Love Affair with a Famous Cartoonist</i>:</p><p class="paywall"> </p><p class="paywall"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qHyME_WEIPwoSeXUs4gLCzxg0Vkwq8dgGErKee3z8qvjiwuiW08DnMDF2lU3sv7aFPYCRRD5KfvfhJLLMlqtU7Pal8Jd1KFxJlBdN7m2KTPPsWx4sgZbS85MCadgLcAtm8DokqIloRfiTa9GiE5I-ZcErcs6R2kL4S82gDNk7M5-aAh3IA4f2w/s724/Screenshot_2024-02-19%20MoulyandKaneko-BillGriffithonHisMothersLoveAffair_01%20jpg%20(WEBP%20Image,%201600%20%C3%97%202410%20pixels)%20-%20Scaled%20(3%5B...%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qHyME_WEIPwoSeXUs4gLCzxg0Vkwq8dgGErKee3z8qvjiwuiW08DnMDF2lU3sv7aFPYCRRD5KfvfhJLLMlqtU7Pal8Jd1KFxJlBdN7m2KTPPsWx4sgZbS85MCadgLcAtm8DokqIloRfiTa9GiE5I-ZcErcs6R2kL4S82gDNk7M5-aAh3IA4f2w/w424-h640/Screenshot_2024-02-19%20MoulyandKaneko-BillGriffithonHisMothersLoveAffair_01%20jpg%20(WEBP%20Image,%201600%20%C3%97%202410%20pixels)%20-%20Scaled%20(3%5B...%5D.png" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVNXX2NzjRQthIZwLwsrMf_-a9jGZhu7jCV1Pp-8SolMFpC74peEdwLE5sz6VFsPyL1oHOE2WQc5P6Q6Gfw9hn-fh-cnDkDNmK2VD3vJe69nxe4S5n9oLQFHXJhK9wZLR6PXC89UjutB8-dTVRDazcxLTwyF_h-TKpHcvSOrRKDFq6ILuyYd8PBA/s724/Screenshot_2024-02-19%20MoulyandKaneko-BillGriffithonHisMothersLoveAffair_02%20jpg%20(WEBP%20Image,%201600%20%C3%97%202417%20pixels)%20-%20Scaled%20(2%5B...%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="479" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVNXX2NzjRQthIZwLwsrMf_-a9jGZhu7jCV1Pp-8SolMFpC74peEdwLE5sz6VFsPyL1oHOE2WQc5P6Q6Gfw9hn-fh-cnDkDNmK2VD3vJe69nxe4S5n9oLQFHXJhK9wZLR6PXC89UjutB8-dTVRDazcxLTwyF_h-TKpHcvSOrRKDFq6ILuyYd8PBA/w424-h640/Screenshot_2024-02-19%20MoulyandKaneko-BillGriffithonHisMothersLoveAffair_02%20jpg%20(WEBP%20Image,%201600%20%C3%97%202417%20pixels)%20-%20Scaled%20(2%5B...%5D.png" width="424" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p class="paywall"> Lawrence Lariar's cartoons from The Popular Book of Cartoons (1946), published and copyright 1946 by Popular Library, Inc.

Source: <a href="https://archive.org/details/Life193409" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>.<br /><br />Dorothy McKay (1904 - 1974), who is credited here as Dorothy McCay. Her detail-oriented, lush and observant illustrative gag cartoon style is rewarding to linger over. But some of the humor is pretty dated and inappropriate for today, seeing as these cartoon is going on a century old.<br /><br />Here's <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1974/06/05/archives/dorothy-mckay-70-dies-cartoonist-and-illustrator.html" target="_blank">her NY Times obituary from June 5, 1974</a>:<br /><br /><br /><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Dorothy McKay, a cartoonist and illustrator who contributed drawings to Esquire magazine for many years, died Monday in Midtown Hospital. The wife of Donald W. McKay, an artist and illustrator, she was 70 years old and lived at 9 Christopher Street.<br /><br />"Mrs. McKay, the former Dorothy C. Jones of San Francisco, studied at the California School of Art there and later at the Art Students League here.<br /><br />"President Franklin D. Roosevelt relished one of her election year drawings for Esquire so much that he obtained the original for the White House.<br /><br />"The scene was outside a well-to‐do suburban home; a little boy was chalking something on the sidewalk, and his sister was looking on with disapproval. The caption read, 'Johnny just wrote a bad word!' The word on the sidewalk was 'Roosevelt.'<br /><br />"Besides her husband, Mrs. McKay leaves a daughter, Phoebe."</div><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"> </div><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">The Roosevelt cartoon <a href="https://classic.esquire.com/article/1938/11/1/mama-wilfred-wrote-a-bad-word" target="_blank">originally appeared in Esquire Magazine November 1, 1938 issue</a>.

The article is by Jordan Kisner. This is a revealing portrait of the change that she made in the YA graphic novel book industry. Books about anxious kids sell. And, much to the surprise of Scholastic, girls read comics.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"She got her break in her mid-20s, when Scholastic commissioned her to create graphic-novel adaptations of books from <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://bookshop.org/a/12476/9781338888232"><i>The Baby-Sitters Club</i> series</a>. Her editor took an interest in a web comic she was self-publishing at the time, which became her first graphic memoir, <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://bookshop.org/a/12476/9781338740264"><i>Smile</i></a>.
Scholastic published the book in 2010 as a kind of experiment. At the
time, the market for middle-grade comics was dominated by superheroes
and fantasy. Would kids want a nonfiction comic about a <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/16/books/review/Bird-t.html">normal sixth-grade girl’s tricky journey with braces</a>?
Publishing executives had doubts about whether enough girls could be
persuaded to read comics at all. (It was assumed that a comic with a
girl protagonist would require an audience of girls.)</p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>"Smile</i>’s first print run <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://goodcomicsforkids.slj.com/2010/06/13/interview-raina-telgemeier/">sold out in four months</a>, and the book spent 240 weeks on the <i>New York Times</i> best-seller list. In 2014, Telgemeier published <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://bookshop.org/a/12476/9781338801880"><i>Sisters</i></a>, and in 2019, <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://bookshop.org/a/12476/9780545852500"><i>Guts</i></a>. This trio of graphic memoirs has made her, like Roald Dahl and Judy Blume, the kind of author who <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/04/judy-blume-books-are-you-there-god-margaret-movie/673091/">defines a generation of children’s literature</a>, and whose books, in turn, have helped define a generation’s experience of childhood."</p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"> </p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">This is a <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/03/raina-telgemeier-cartoonist-smile-guts-books/677180/" target="_blank">well deserved major piece</a> and details her lasting impact on kids and parents. <br /></p><p><br /></p>Mike Lynchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06589354018554341768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-28052186563019109502024-02-13T09:20:00.004-05:002024-02-13T09:26:35.293-05:00Video: Martin Rowson: Satirical Cartoons: A History<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.martinrowson.com/" target="_blank">British editorial cartoonist Martin Rowson</a> talks about the history and purpose of political cartooning in this Gresham College lecture of January 25, 2024. </p><p style="text-align: left;">From the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9w4rSozVw&t=7s" target="_blank">Gresham College YouTube page</a>:</p><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><br />"How do cartoons and visual satire operate? <br /><br />"This lecture will look at when humans first created art and at the dawn of satire. <br /><br />"Examining the work of Swift, Hogarth, Gillray, David Low and Ronald Searle, this lecture by celebrated cartoonist Martin Rowson will also examine the role cartoons play in giving offence. Covering the Danish Cartoons scandal and the Charlie Hebdo massacre, this talk will also look at Martin Rowson's own cartoon output over the past 40 years. <br /><br />"This lecture was recorded by Martin Rowson on 25th January 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London. <br /><br /><br />"Martin is a multi-award winning cartoonist, writer, illustrator, ranter, performer and poet.
