The AP reports that Robert "Buck" Brown, a Playboy cartoonist best known for his "granny" character, passed away due to complications from a stroke on July 2 , 2007 in a Chicago area hospital. Mr. Brown was 71 years old.Sadly, I never met him. I just got my copy of the new Playboy in yesterday's mail and I was looking at Brown's cartoon in there and admiring his colors. He worked in acrylics.
Tom Spurgeon has a report here.
The History Makers has a revealing bio here.

Hi mike!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this marvellous blog on french cartoonists.
I am Bosc's nephew, and working on finding as much archives as possible for his site.
Please visit the site that I built :
www.j-m-bosc.com
and particularly the page on rare books :
http://www.j-m-bosc.com/bibliographie/multi-auteurs/passeul2.htm
Please, if you see any Bosc drawings in any of the books you possess, let me know and send me a scan of the drawing, this would be such a great help!
Hoping to hear from you soon,
all the best!
