A Trove of Specialty Drawings, Part 2 of 4
Please see yesterday's post for the story behind this large collection of cartoonist specialty drawings. On day two, we'll dip into the humor cartoonists:
 |
| Walter Berndt, creator of Smitty and his little brother Herby |
 |
| Bill Dyer (one of the few actual alumni to appear in the booklet) and Patsy from The Adventures of Patsy |
 |
| Bill Holman and his creation, Smokey Stover |
 |
| Bud Fisher and his creation, Mutt and Jeff (art presumably ghosted by Al Smith) |
 |
| Ernie Bushmiller and his creation, Nancy |
 |
| Carl Anderson's Henry; Carl was dead before the booklet saw print |
 |
| Chic Young's Blondie |
 |
| Clifford McBride's Napoleon, with a one-size-fits-all gag |
 |
| McEvoy and Striebel's Dixie Dugan offers some unfortunate stereotypical mushmouth vernacular |
 |
| Lank Leonard's creation, Mickey Finn |
 |
| Cliff Sterrett's Polly and her Pals |
 |
| Martin Branner's Denny Dimwit from Winnie Winkle |
Comments:
I agree. At least he's looks human. 'Looks like they were trying to have it both ways here. During the '40s, the NAACP started to make noise about the depiction of African-Americans and Africans in the media.
