Yappy 60th, Fred! When cartoonist Alex Graham started drawing Fred Basset in 1963, readers complained he looked nothing like a dog... So the Mail gave Alex his very own hound - and a legend was born that's still going strong today

Greg Bennett collection of cartoon drawings at Library of Congress

Greg Bennett may have sold his share of Big Planet Comics and decamped to Northern Europe, but part of him remains here... at the Library of Congress. Most of these pictured are from SPX when Greg was more involved in organizing it. The Stan Sakai might have been done at a signing at the store, and I don't recognize Mike Luce at all, but I remember most of the others. Whatever happened to Joe Chiapetta anyway? Reference photos are by Sara Duke.

Copyright cartoon images from Library of Congress (UPDATED)

Comics historian Warren Bernard has been volunteering at the Library of Congress for years to help them catalog their editorial collections. Now he's identifying artists in the Copyright collection. Through the official exchange program at the Library of Congress, available to any qualifying institution, duplicate material not retained by the Library has been delivered to Columbia University's Butler Library and the Norman Rockwell Museum. Here's some images of some of the early 20th century cartoon material.

Sara Duke states that researchers can always make appointments in the Prints & Photographs Division to see the items the Library retained, as not everything had duplicates. Selections will be digitized when the project is complete. "I can say on behalf of the archivist and myself, we’re thrilled that duplicate material is making its way into other institutions, where researchers who might not have access to travel to Washington will be able to consult it."

Sykes was a major Philadelphia cartoonist and this may have been for a billboard.

Edelweiss Beer hired French for an ad campaign. A lot of these joke tropes survived for a hundred years.

Warren notes John McCutcheon's influence in the art, and the dog device.
