Lowell Hess is one of the forgotten giants of the mid-20th century cartoon art business.  Among his many laudable accomplishments is a year-long series of tiny spots done for Collier’s magazine in the early 50′s.

These spots appeared regularly in a column called “48 States of Mind” and, although tiny in stature, they are huge in the excellence of their content.  Brilliant character design, hilarious oddball concepts and meticulous execution make Hess’ tiny Collier’s spots well worth a closer look.  You’ll find several more at Today’s Inspiration.
