A Different Wheelbarrow

Wednesday Caniff School Day. Over the last few days I have shown the political cartoons of Associated Press artist Hank Barrow from the froties. Before Barrow started doing these, they were done by a few artists. The most famous one is Noel Sickles. I may of may have not shown these before, but as I am cleaning out my computer files, I wanted to make sure. After Sickles (and sometimes alongside him) the cartoons were done by John Morris, who stayed with AP for all of career as a pinch hitter. The last thing I saw of his work was when he took over from George Tuska on the AP adventure strip Scorchy Smith in 1959 (into the sixties). Morris was a journeyman artist, never one of my favorites. Still, he has his place alongside these greats.
