Found in the Stacks: Ed Carey Draws the Cartoonist's Nightmare

 

In this 1902 one-shot strip for the New York Herald, Ed Carey shows us that the aspiring cartoonist's REAL nightmare is not rejection, or even being thrown out on your keister. No, it is the sublime pain of utter indifference. What a masterpiece of body language and expression in this incredible strip!

Incredible indeed. Have you posted any of Carey's other cartoons here, or do you have any that you can post?
 
A very sophisticated understanding of the uses of the (relatively new) art form, the comic strip. Kudos for Ed Carey in 1902!
 
Really great !
