TODAY’S FEATURED ITEM:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

On his Scary Terry’s World<\/em> blog<\/a>, cartoonist Terry Beatty has posted a wonderful little instructional booklet from 1943 called Pocket Cartoon Course<\/em>. If you can identify the artist who drew it, he would like to know. Go check it out!<\/a> <\/p>\n

Terry has apparently been digging through his collections and plans on sharing more cool old stuff… like this great Nell Brinkley cartoon, for example.<\/a> <\/p>\n

ALSO OF NOTE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Allan Holtz at the Stripper’s Guide blog<\/a> notes that now is a very good time to give to The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library<\/a>, which, by all accounts, has the most fantastic collection of comic art in the world:<\/p>\n

The Ohio State University’s Cartoon Research Library has been given a $1 million gift by Jeanne Schulz (widow of Charles) for the renovation of a desperately needed larger facility for their ever-expanding holdings. This is great news. Even better, though is that Jeanne has pledged up to another $2.5 million dollars in matching funds for other donations to the library. In other words, for every dollar you give, Jeanne will match it with a buck of her own. Everything you can afford to give will go twice as far!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a video on the subject, with a glimpse at their incredible holdings:<\/p>\n
