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.

2010 comics deaths Comic Riffs and guest post
Comic Riffs is getting back in the swing, and has "'Riffs in Review: Remembering 10 cartooning greats who died in 2010," By Michael Cavna, 01/3/2011, online now. I would quibble with some choices, but it's a good starting list of 'big name' cartoonists lost in 2010.
A few days earlier, D.D. Degg had posted a his list of losses in comic art to a Comic-Strip-Classics, a comic strip history email list that I'm on, so I asked his permission to repost it. Here it is, with suprisingly little overlap with Cavna's list:
These are cartoonists who had a connection to comic strips, editorial cartoons and magazine cartoons.
Someone else will have to add those who didn't drift into those genres from animation (Rudy Larriva, Alex Anderson) or comic books (Valerie Barclay, Vic Dowd) or elsewhere.
If someone wants to post it elsewhere, they have my blessing.

D.D.Degg
A few days earlier, D.D. Degg had posted a his list of losses in comic art to a Comic-Strip-Classics, a comic strip history email list that I'm on, so I asked his permission to repost it. Here it is, with suprisingly little overlap with Cavna's list:
These are cartoonists who had a connection to comic strips, editorial cartoons and magazine cartoons.
Someone else will have to add those who didn't drift into those genres from animation (Rudy Larriva, Alex Anderson) or comic books (Valerie Barclay, Vic Dowd) or elsewhere.
If someone wants to post it elsewhere, they have my blessing.
