Figuring Out George Carlson, Pt. 2 / by Paul Tumey

The 2nd part of Paul Tumey's excellent article on cartoonist George Carlson is now online at the Comics Journal. Check it out at THIS LINK!

Paul is a thoughtful researcher, a wonderful writer, but I stop short of calling him a serious comic art scholar-- he's having waaay too much fun to be serious! Take a look at his The Masters of Screwball Comics  blog at THIS LINK. Great stuff.

Paul Tumey's Screwball Comics

Paul Tumey just posted an overview of my work on his website The Masters of Screwball Comics. I just nip at their heels, but it is so flattering to be classified as a cartoonist carrying on the traditions of Rube Goldberg, Milt Gross, Gene Ahern and Bill Holman. Of all of them, Holman was probably the one I had the most exposure to in my Portrait of the Cartoonist as Young Dog period in the 1960s.

Thank you Paul. It's all a mystery.
