39 Cards Featuring Original Comic Strip Artwork

Index cards. Each measuring 5" x 3". Overall fine with occasional pencil or ink notes on the rear identifying the artist: one card with tack holes and another with a tape repaired tear. A group of 39 index cards featuring sketches by various comic strip and humor cartoonists of the late 1970s and early-1980s. Most well-known of the group are Chester Gould (*Dick Tracey*), Mort Walker (*Beetle Baily*), Cathy Guisewite (*Cathy*), Bill Keane (*Family Circus*), Russell Myers (*Broom-Hilda*), and Don Trachte (*Henry*). The collection appears to have been assembled by three individuals collecting autographs of cartoonist they liked. Most of the artists responded with a basic pen and ink sketch, though some are more elaborate than others. Other notables includes five cards by *New Yorker* cartoonists Arnold Roth, Jerry Marcus, Howie Schneider, and Garrett Price, a frequent cover artist for the magazine during the 40s and 50s; and syndicated political cartoonist, Bill Schorr. A lovely collection of original comic strip and cartoonist art. A complete list is available upon request.…
