Love of COMIC STRIPS & CARTOONING: Editor Hogan’s Alley Tom Heintjes’ chat with D.Olbrich & T.Mason.

Описание: This episode is dedicated to the love of COMIC STRIPS and CARTOONING. Hogan’s Alley magazine is all about newspaper comic strips and the cartoon arts thanks to the dedication of founder, editor and publisher Tom Heintjes. Geekview Tavern regulars Dave Olbrich and Tom Mason sit down and have a wide-ranging discussion about newspaper strips old and new, the cartoonists who make the strips, their comic legacy and the business of cartooning.

How the history of comic strips and newspaper strips relate to the newspaper cartoons of today.

We cover the origin of Hogan’s Alley magazine. What is NEMO magazine? What is the Classic Comics Library? How it relates to Richard F. Outcaults, THE YELLOW KID. We talk about the day Hogan’s Alley magazine got the Eiser Award for Best Comics Magazine. We even breeze past Richard F. Outcault’s other famous comic strip Buster Brown.

We talk about the Father of Cartoon Animation, Winsor McCay who is legendary for his work on the newspaper comic strip LITTLE NEMO IN SLUMBERLAND and why he may very well be the
World’s Worst Comic Strip Letterer. We also include a peak at Winsor McCay’s 1914 cartoon GERTIE THE DINOSAUR.

The business of comics and careers in cartooning are also part of this show.

There is also a special tribute to Bill Blackbeard and his San Francisco Academy of Comic Art.
Bill Blackbeard, The Collector Who Rescued The Comics.
