| In these 'Popular Comics' there is a one drawing feature called 'On the Range' which is excellent. There is a name attached and a signature on some of the illustrations but I can't make out either.
In this issue it is on CB+ page 39. Apparently both 'On the Range' and 'Bronc Peeler' on the same page - in a very different style - are by Script: Fred Harman | Pencils: Fred Harman | Inks: Fred Harman. He's most famous for Red Ryder, which is in a different style again. Very versatile artist.
Photo here of him working next to a young Walt Disney. Ub Iwerks and Friz Freleng may be in there somewhere too. Wonder who the lone female was?

[His brother was Hugh Harman, the later co-founder of the animation department of Warner Brothers, originally titled the Harman-Ising Studios. The family moved to Kansas City in 1920, where Fred Harman took on a short-lived cartooning career at the Star, despite never having any formal art training. In 1921, he and his brother Hugh Harman got a job at the Kansas City Film Ad Company, working alongside future animation legends Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks and Friz Freleng. They mostly made animated shorts for advertising purposes. Harman also worked for Disney's Laugh-O-Gram Studio, but both enterprises went bankrupt. In 1924]
Now I'm going to have to take a closer look at Red Ryder! |
