Timely reference, scuttle, as I'm currently reading Tiger Tea in a lovely little hardback by Craig Yoe.


Paw,  I read that one myself a couple of months back.  Yoe's been coming out with some nice collections this past year or so.  I just picked up his Dick Briefer/Frankenstein volume last week.

The Tiger Tea collections makes me wish that someone would tackle a reprinting of the complete Krazy Kat Dailies.  Maybe Fantagraphics will do it now that they've finished up the Sundays.

Anyone here also a fan of political and satirical cartoons of the 1800s/early 1900s?  I'm thinking James Gillray, William Hogarth, etc.


Yes, I'm a big fan (and collector) of Gillray and Cruikshank. I posted a little thread about Joseph Keppler, who was really terrific (Austrian immigrant to the US, he founded "Puck", great stuff from the 1880s)

Another great American name is Winsor McCay (best known for "Little Nemo", he was good at everything, and did plenty of political cartoons for the Hearst papers)

Gillray's influence is still felt very strongly in editorial cartooning. If you look at, say, Barry Blitt's cartoon of the Obama's from 2008, you can see that its a very direct reference to Gillray . . . looks like Gillray, and is set up like a Gillray.

I've been reading Happy Hooligan by Frederick Burr Opper in a nice landscape h/b book from NBM.  Great fun and a good laugh.  This was a new one to me so any further suggestions welcome.

Paw,  NBM also has a Mutt and Jeff book that features a number of early strips reprinted in a nice large size and a Bringing Up Father book which collects the first couple years of the strip from 1913-1914.

I have "Rex, King of the Deep" a 1941 comic strip coming. Art was done by Al McWilliams, it's his early art but it shows the style we've all grown to know from him. I have to post up some scans after I get it.
