The Washington School of Cartooning, just about a century ago

Warren Bernard  wrote in, "When Maryland re-opened some stuff, my sister and I went out to an antiques mall in Hagerstown. She spotted this gem:

"I had never seen a cartoon course diploma, no less one from 1924  from the only DC area cartoon school, run by Will Chandlee, who worked for the Evening Star in the 19th Century. The office for the cartoon school was on 15th St for a while and the most famous graduate was Frank Godwin. I also have a promo booklet from the school, and that's how I found out about Godwin."

Thanks to Warren for sharing this bit of The Secret History of Comics.
