That's a terrific Sunday page, Carl! Congrats!

It's nice to see this piece again.  I owned it a million years ago.  I believe it was done for one of the NCS publications, maybe for a Reuben Awards program.  A great association piece.

Wow!  That is gorgeous!  Such a beautiful use of color, figure work and caricature.  Congrats my friend, on acquiring such a terrific painting.

A truly wonderful example by one of the very best cartoonists working today!

Such wonderful work by one of the masters of the medium.  I've long felt that Davis' EC war work was his best stuff.

I get *that* reference!

A beautiful piece, fellow Rob.  This is my favorite type of Frazetta work, with that wonderfully active pen line that defines so much, while maintaining all that energy.  Congrats!

George, this was published on July 28, 1943, in the NY Daily News.

Such a wonderful, wonderful drawing by the maestro.  Congrats Alex and Kathy!

That's a beauty, John!  Those Robinson boys were pretty damn good!

That's some beautiful work, Jim.  I'm unfamiliar with Cleaver's work, but I love how he used the airiness of the figures in the lower corners to frame the the main action.  Lovely work.

That's a sweet example, John.  Congrats!

Such a terrific page, my friend.  As a kid, I was fascinated by Wood's quiet action, which is exemplified in that final panel.  Congrats!

A wonderful example, Benno.  I love those changing backgrounds too!  Congrats!

That's very cool, Brian.  It's like a German Expressionist woodcut, Marvel-style!

Ben, congratulations on picking up a wonderful illustration by the maestro!

Such a wonderful example, Matthew.  Congratulations on picking up a sweet, sweet Herriman!

McManus was such a great comedic artist.  He just drew funny.  Plus elegantly.  And for those who aren't aware of the partial color, artists back then colored each element once for the Sunday page, as a color guide to the engravers.  We used to see many more partially colored Sundays back in the day, before some folks decides they should be fully colored.

Congrats Jeff!

Such a wonderful page, Peter.  You know I dig Bum Bill Bee, one of Herriman's best secondary characters.

Timony really captured the Mayer vibe beautifully in this cover.  Congrats on the cover, my friend, and Happy Birthday!

Marcus, the feature was also syndicated Stateside during the war, as "Private Breger".  That was a single-panel feature.

A fantastic and historic addition to your collection, Carl.  I'm glad the piece is in good hands.  Congratulations to you!

That's a cool piece, Dan, especially the design elements.  Was there a time that Ketcham actually drew the Sunday page?

Illingworth was a terrific cartoonist and this is a wonderful original.  His sense of design and touch with the materials is superb.  Congrats!

Whaddaya mean, "old"?!?!

:-D

Hey, that's me in the photo with Al!  Photographer: Charlie Roberts.

I'm so glad you discovered so much more history about this piece.  It's fascinating that it was used in multiple ways.  I'm glad it's in a very good home.

I love those hatching textures that Anders layers into his work, along with those contrasts.   A powerfuo piece, to be sure.

Ah, the old artwork of shame story.  I remember reading about an Italian collector waking up next to a Titian painting in 1570.  He certainly had some explaining to do to his wife. 

Big congrats my friend!

Holy hell, that's an incredible illustration by Sullivan!  Wow!

Ben, this is a fantastic Sunday page!  The combination of drawing and the written word, which sometimes also works as a visual, is Herriman at his very best.  And I love those sweeping vistas.  Plus, you get Krazy Kat him/herself singing!  Wonderfulness.  Mazel tov!

Marcus, hey, I resemble that remark! :-)

Such a wonderful example.  Congrats!  I missed out on most of these offerings, but didn't leave empty-handed.  Soon to be posted. 

That's a wonderful example, Scotty.  And it so nice to see you posting here again on the CAF.

How wonderful!  I'm so glad you got a commission from Farel.  And he really knocked it out of the park!  Thanks for mentioning the small image of Sinclair, as I would not have noticed him fluttering about!

A very cool addition to the collection.  Is he also using oil pastels for the drawing?

This is truly wonderful, Alex! Big congrats to you and Kathy!

That's a terrific piece, John.

That's a lovely example by Morgan, Jim.  I really do enjoy his less-is-more approach.  So much information with so relatively few means.

Wow!  That's phenomenal!  She is such a wonderful watercolorist, and when combined with that terrific line of hers, the result is lively, rich, and wonderful (again!).  Congrats Alex (and Kathy)!

Congrats on a wonderful example of Hirschfeld's work!  My family received the NY Times growing up, and my sister, brother and I would always head to the Arts & Leisure section on Sundays to look for the NINAs in the Hirschfeld drawing.  Such an incredible line, as well as being a wonderful caricaturist.

A gorgeous example, Zaddick.  And even with a dinosaur!  Congrats!

This is a stunner of a commission, my friend.  Such a beautiful use of blacks and whites, and all those lovely details. And still, those great Hembeck swirly knees!

Wow!  That's a beaut, Dan!  Big congratulations to you!

Mazel Tov, fellow Rob!  That's a stunner of a piece.  There is no scan or pic that can do a McCay original like this justice.  They are truly incredible in person.  Big congrats, my friend.

Congrats on acquiring a honey of a Sunday page, Roger!  Scarbo was wonderful.  The date of publication is July 19, 1942.  I've just sent you a pic of the printed version on FB.

Congratulations my friend!  It is indeed a wonderful drawing, one that I have a history with.  I originally found it in a small comic book shop in Minneapolis in the early 1990s.  I owned it for a number of years before it went to Albert, who clearly parted with it, eventually going to Roger.  I've often wondered what happened to the drawing and I'm glad to know that it's in good hands.

I love Bud's work, and this is a terrific example. 

Back when I taught drawing at the university, when it came time to do portraits, I went over the proportions and measurements of the head with the students carefully.  When we came to the hair, my standard line was, "Those of you cursed with hair are on your own".  Then we'd go ver the hair ;-)

Marcus, I'm thinking 110 years later!

Ben, Mazel Tov to you!  Such incredible drawing.  Those Jones trees always get me.  It's like they're carved out of ink with such care and sensitivity. 

Congrats to on your retirement!  All the best to you.
