This weekend's Civitan flea market comics and cartoon finds (need some artist ID help)

This weekend's Civitan flea market comics and cartoon finds. Most were under 2 dollars. The comics and fanzines will go to the Library of Congress as will most of the ephemera. If anyone can help ID the World War II cartoonist, I'd appreciate it. And the golf blotter cartoonist.

Washington Times-Herald 1941 Sunday comics (updated)

I picked up a few Sunday comics tearsheets at the Civitan Flea Market last weekend. These all appear to be from Washington Times-Herald in late 1941. I think they might all have been saved for the sheet music on the back side - songs played by Benny Goodman, Fred Waring, and Guy Lombardo. A Baltimore Sun section from 1960s will be posted separately at some point.
