I am currently collection a large run of cartoons from Collier's magazine. Here are two by Hank k=Ketcham and three by Harry Lampert, just to get your attention.
The third cartoon was by Harry Lampert, who drew the origin story of the Golden Age Flash. He seemed better suited to magazine cartooning than to comic book work.
This cartoon by Harry Lampert shows that Jack Cole was not alone in publishing both in comic book and magazines. I also have some Collier's cartoons by 1940's DC artist Hal Sherman...
Oh, yeah. There is lots of fun creators to be found and many more interconnections, which is sort of the stuff my blog is made of. I will be showing some Lampert and Sherman cartoons, as well as cartoons by Disney fugitive Dick Shaw, Disney mainstay T. Hee and animator Sibley. I have one early cartoon by Gene Hazelton and hope to find more. But no other early comic book artists as far as I know.
I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

I have been doing this blog for over ten years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
I highly recommend
Getting any of these wonderful books will help me fund this page.
I am a Dutch television writer, who has written about comics and television for a number of publications here in Holland and in the US. I love hearing from (forgotten) artists and/or their relatives, so if you are one of those and happen upon this blog, please leave a note.

Yes, I included that for Paul Tumey, who was interested. Lampert was a pretty good cartoonist, indeed.

Oh, I forget Garrett Price, who did a newspaper strip in the late thirties before turning to cartooning.
