Jim Ivey's Photo Album, Part Five

One last look at Jim Ivey's photo album today. If you'd like to see a great selection of Jim's cartoons you are in luck. Robin Snyder's magazine "The Comics - The Original First Person History" starts publishing a retrospective of Jim Ivey's cartoons in the current issue, with the cartoons personally chosen by Ivey along with his commentary. You can subscribe to "The Comics", which apparently does not have a website, by sending $28 ($35 foreign) for a 12-issue subscription to:

Robin Snyder
3745 Canterbury Ln #81
Bellingham WA 98225-1186

To be safe you might mention that you wish to start your sub with the first Ivey issue, but it is the current issue as this is written. And Snyder's publication is well worth the small price, as it features all sorts of really interesting material from all genres and phases of cartooning history. Highly recommended.

Jim Ivey throws a birthday party for Frank King in 1968. Unfortunately invisible in this photo is that the cake is decorated with an image of Skeezix. Frank wonders which one of his assistants is responsible for the bad likeness.
