There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I love those stories. And since I work in the National Archives, I find those stories for a living. So says Beecher White, a young archivist who spends his days working with the most important documents of the U.S. government.

Some more Richard Thompson book dedication drawings
My buddy Doug has four shots of drawings in Cul de Sac books up at his Dougintology blog. The drawings appear to be by Richard Thompson, but if he offers them on e-bay, I'd ask for a certificate of authenticity.
Hey, readership, what's the word for 'book dedication drawings' in French?

University of Maryland's Jerry Lee On-Line Photo Archive at the Library of American Broadcasting
I just found out about the University of Maryland's Jerry Lee On-Line Photo Archive at the Library of American Broadcasting. There's a few photographs of interest on cartoons and comics.
Station WFMJ, Youngstown, OH. "Sister Kay" reads the comics to the youngsters. A daily WFMJ feature. Sister Kay is Mrs. James Ranney. is the relevant image that comes up under 'comic'.
The cartoon search produces more hits, mostly Ripley of Ripley's Believe or Not, but there's also a couple of Green Hornet shots. The new movie opens this week, but I think this 1930's Hornet looks tougher.
