Decline and Fall of the Editorial Cartoonist ... from 1957!

By Bruce Guthrie 

Billy Ireland Museum description: Letter from John Stampone to John Milt Morris describing the group's founding.  1957?

Cartoons by John Stampone letterhead 

Dear Milt -

This is a brief history of the AAEC.
In 1957, January was the month, I read an article in the Saturday Review called 'The Decline And Fall Of The Editorial Cartoonist'.

Needless to say, I didn't like what the article said -- so my first thought was to form an association of editorial cartoonist [sic] and hope that it would help to restore some prestige to the profession.

Jim Berryman, Gib Crockett, Hal Talburt and Dan Dowling agreed to endose [sic] my plan. Jim wrote a letter to send out to a list of cartoonists that I had put together, and I got my boss Mel Ryder to underwrite the expenses -- and we were off!

The response from the return camos [?] was so great -- in one month we had our charter and in three months our first convention in Washington, D. C. — The rest is history!

Thanks
John

JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience Documentary film can also be seen online

The exhibit opens to the public this week at the Capital Jewish Museum, and I'll be writing about it soon. In the meantime, besides the pictures I posted a link to yesterday, you can watch this film.

JLTV (Jewish Life Television) with
The Center for Jewish History and TurnKey Pictures Present
JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience Documentary Special

Los Angeles, CA – Attention all fans of pop culture and Jewish history! JLTV (Jewish Life Television) is thrilled to announce its exciting partnership with The Center for Jewish History and TurnKey Pictures to bring viewers JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience – A JLTV Documentary Special!

This captivating documentary program (30 minutes) uncovers the real-life origin story of comic books and superheroes, created by pioneering Jewish Americans from World War II to the present day. As colorful and thrilling as the comics themselves, this program is a must-see for comic lovers and history buffs!

"We are proud and excited to partner with JLTV and TurnKey Pictures to bring this important documentary to life. The history of Jewish creators in the world of comics has long been an untold story, and through this collaboration we are able to highlight their extraordinary contributions to both American culture and the global imagination," said Dr. Gavriel Rosenfeld, President of the Center for Jewish History.

Jewish creators played a foundational role in the comic book industry, dating back to the 1930s and 1940s. Iconic figures like Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the Jewish duo who created Superman, infused their characters with themes of social justice and the immigrant experience, reflecting their own backgrounds as children of Jewish immigrants.

"Bringing Jewish stories to life is at the heart of JLTV's mission, and JEWCE is a perfect example of that. We are excited to shine a light on the incredible legacy of Jewish comic book creators and the cultural resonance of their work that continues to inspire people around the world," said Brad Pomerance, Executive Vice President, JLTV.

Jewish creators have continued to shape the industry to today, giving rise to diverse characters and stories that address issues of morality, identity, and heroism, often drawing from Jewish history, folklore, and values.

"At a time when stories of perseverance and creativity are more important than ever, JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience reminds us of the enduring impact of Jewish visionaries. Their contributions to the comic book industry helped shape modern-day superheroes, and their stories continue to inspire new generations," said Roy Schwartz, pop culture historian, Co-Producer of the documentary, and Chair of the JewCE Awards.
