I didn't know that Jonathan Winters had a book of cartoons.
Sure enough, he attended the Dayton Art Institute for two and a half years. And he was one of those people who drew as a hobby his whole life. But this book, MOUSE BREATH, CONFORMITY AND OTHER SOCIAL ILLS, is the only published record of Mr. Winters' artistic chops.
My thanks to my pal John Klossner for letting me borrow his copy. As of now, you can find inexpensive copies of the 1965 hardcover published by Bobbs Merrill and copyright that same year by Wintergood Inc.

It's a fun book.
