Mister Scribbles

No humans.  The talking animals know full well how they were developed and for what reason.  Go back to the poison waste you have made, man has no friends here.  The Underpeople, animals modified into human form and intelligence to fulfill servile roles, and treated as property.  They can be and are killed with impunity.   Cordwainer Smith concept.  We shall regret this current hybrid research.   “Nothing is stranger to man than his own image”     Karel Čapek , R. U. R

In 1925, Ernie Bushmiller took over the Fritzi Ritz strip from Larry Whittington.  He took art classes at night while working as a copy boy at the New York World.  He started illustrating a weekly Harry Houdini strip and moved up to full time cartoonist.  Nancy is Fritzi Ritz's niece.  A master visual gag writer, this is what he told a reporter in 1960: "I try to find a sight gag and draw the last panel of the strip first, then work back from that to find out how it came about. I've got a trade secret - whenever I'm really stuck for a gag, I look through a Sears Roebuck catalog. Usually my eye hits on some article, like an ironing board, for example, and my mind starts to play around with what can be done with an ironing board, and finally I've got my gag".

Jacob Kurtzberg Served as a scout while in the infantry, WWII.  He would draw maps of the target for the command.  Jack grew up on the lower east side of New York, a lifelong friend was Leon Klinghoffer.  Tough neighborhood, tough kids. He bought his first house from the money he earned drawing this stuff. Self portrait. Kapow! All the Fantastic Four movies and cartoons really suck bad.  The movie version of Doctor Doom is as laughable as the Four themselves.  There was no reason at all for those films to be as bad as they were.  None. Unforgettable. No other artist in this field drew so many different comics. Master of layout and design. Ragnarok. 2001 2001 Etrigan.  This really helped with the waiting to grow up thing. Timeless. But everyone has flaws, and Jack was no exception.  Bucky was the...
