He was not only incredibly talented, but the sweetest guy imaginable. He actually was instrumental in helping me get a job that led to an even better job and eventually my dream career, and I’ve never forgotten his kindness. I loved his work, and he was a wonderful friend.

He was a very good artist and cartoonist all given naturally to him. He never went to school for it,but did teach it. He loved to make people laugh!

I was ...Hi Mike, Janet from Lakeview, Oregon here. I was doing a search for my uncle, Glen Bernhardt and you came up. My uncle must be well into his 80s, (or more!) but he was a very good, popular cartoonist with publications in all the big magazines of the era. Anyhow, I tripped out because I am almost sure the "$10,000 ain't what it used to be" is his work. My dad has the originals of several hilarious cartoons Glen did back in the 50s and 60s. I'll try to post them. Any suggestion on how to find my uncle?? Thanks for you time...Janet Wahlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-72428905794787952532008-02-22T13:06:00.000-05:002008-02-22T13:06:00.000-05:00I guess for $3.50 at the Strand Book Shop, you get...I guess for $3.50 at the Strand Book Shop, you get a factory-reject edition -- MY copy of "My Shell . . . " has the complete Ed Arno drawing, including all the figures in the background.<BR/>The "True, eight years ago . . . " cartoon is definitely by Glenn Bernhardt. It's the first unsigned cartoon of his I've ever seen -- the WSJ must have done some severe chopping.<BR/>And last, I've always assumed that Deb Polston was a woman, but then I never met him. Now I can see that the drawing style is definitely masculine. I googled him, and his full name is Delbert.<BR/>Sorry about this delayed comment, but I've been away on vacation for a month.<BR/>EliEli Steinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17389467719493862803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-15898884588624209522008-02-21T14:48:00.000-05:002008-02-21T14:48:00.000-05:00love your work. very economical use of line to cap...love your work. very economical use of line to capture the essence of a person.

He did a lot of work in the '70s and '80s and was published in everything from Good Housekeeping to Playboy. I met him when I used to make the rounds with Jerry Marcus and Orlando Busino.<BR/><BR/>--TomCartoon Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391502735879550886noreply@blogger.com
