They actually have entire movies on YouTube. Who knew?


Before Ralph Steadman was best known as Hunter Thompson's illustrator, he was a gag cartoonist, mainly for Punch.


Here's a cartoon William Steig did for Look.

An example of Sunflower Street, which doesn't seem to have any links online, so once again, I'll consult The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons from which this came.

“SUNFLOWER STREET, the creation of Tom Sims (writer) and Tom Little (artist), started in 1934 as a daily panel for King Features Syndicate. In 1929 Sims went on to write the Thimble Theater strip, and by 1940 Little remained as sole author of the feature. Sunflower Street was unusual in that it had an all-black cast of characters (its closest antecedent was E. W. Kemble's Blackberries). Although not devoid of stereotypes, Sunflower Street was far from being a funny-paper Amos 'n' Andy. The people in it—the gentle but shrewd Pap Henty, the sagacious Granny Lou, the white-bearded Mr. Native, the ne'er-do-well Cousin Bobo, the panel's children, Eenie, Meeny, Miney and Moe—had real character and much charm. The pace was relaxed, and the humor always low-key.

“Nothing really disturbing ever happened on Sunflower Street, and its critics have pointed to the fact as proof of the panel's failings; but the same omission also characterized most small-town features of the 1930s and 1940s. Little poured a great deal of heart into Sunflower Street, as well as many fond remembrances of his rural Tennessee childhood. It was therefore with great reluctance that he finally discontinued it in 1949, due to falling readership.”

Image Shack deemed this forbidden, even though racism is OK with them. If anyone knows of a storage site that doesn't censor, let me know.

Still from Dusan Vukotic's Ersatz, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Subject in 1961, and probably the inspiration for The Simpsons parody of European cartoons.

World Encyclopedia of Cartoons Pid-Spa

Here we go again with more of the reproducible cartoons from the 1980 World Encyclopedia of Cartoons.

Here's something from from Australian Women's Weekly by William Edward (Wep) Pidgeon.


Terrytoons looked like they were from the 30s until the 50s, when they looked like they were from the future. Here's a still from Terrytoons' Flebus, one of my all-time favorite cartoons, from the entry for Ernest Pintoff.



Another animation, Professor Balthasar, by Zlatko Grgić.



Hans Quist, who in lieu of no internet presence, is represented by his entry in the World Encyclopedia. Keep in mind that when something is referred to in present tense, it's as of 1980.

“HANS QUIST (1922-?) Born in Fasbourg, Denmark. Hans Quist started out as an apprentice in a sportswear shop, finding out after three years that this was not for him. He tried out his luck as a cartoonist and tennis player in his spare time and was most successful with the latter. Then, in 1950, he managed to get his first cartoon in print. Today he can 'look back in anger' at some dull years as a sporting goods salesperson until 1953 he was able to support himself through his cartoons.

“His drawing style leans toward the absurd, and though one cannot exactly call him a student of Virgil Partch and Cosper Cornelius, it is their artistic effects he has especially adapted into his own highly personal way of expressing himself. His world is one of domineering women and small, cowed, half-bald men with fat stomachs, as well as horrible little boys in short pants and sailor caps with the inscription Pax. His first comics character, Skrækkellige Olfrert,had his debut in the weekly magazine Hjemmet in 1955.

“Gradually he won fame and popularity in the Scandanavian countries, in Germany and throughout Europe. With his immense productivity, he is today seen often in the dailies in magazines. Quist cartoons can regularly be found in competing magazines in the same town (In Copenhagen, for example Ekstra Bladet and B.T.., In Stockholm Expressen and Aftonbladet--the editors seem to have decided to overlook copyright infringements).

“He is an illustrator of numerous books on crazy humor, practical jokes, etc., and he publishes an annual album of Skrækkellige Olfrert, his favorite comic character, who is seen in a daily strip as well as in thousands of panels.”

I kept looking for information about David Souter, but could only find things about the Supreme Court justice, until I typed his middle name into search engines as well.

not enough drawings by Ronald Searle

This book from 1982 was mostly sheet music to Tom Lehrer's songs and transcriptions of his lyrics to tie in with a musical of the time called “Tomfoolery”. There are a few illustrations here and there by Ronald Searle.
