Cartoonists Are Artists!

“For some reason or other,” wrote Richard Taylor in the October 1950 issue of American Artist magazine, “the general public seems to have the erroneous notion that the drawing of funny pictures is not a serious business.”

All this week on my blog I’ll be showcasing the work of some exceptional mid-20th century cartoonists – and accompanying their work with excerpts from Taylor’s 1950 article.

(Above, a Hank Ketcham illustration that predates Dennis the Menace by one year).

    Strong lines. I’ve not seen much Ketcham aside from the obvious/accessible Dennis the Menace work.
