Good morning and . I have come across a US history comic from c. 1953 distributed by the "US Information Services." I've done a little digging, but not a ton. Anyone know of books or places to get started finding out more?

Jack Cole (1914-1958), one of the most versatile cartoonists in the early years of comics was . Creator of Plastic Man and more than a few of Fred Wertham's favorite comics, plus a successful run as gag artist at Playboy. His suicide at 43 is still baffling historians to this day.

A Beano Xmas cover from Christmas Eve 1966. Before my time I should like to add. The Beano is (of course) a weekly humour comic in the UK and it’s the longest running weekly comic in the world, clocking up over 4000 issues since July 1938! Child Number Two here had a Beano subscription for a few years but sadly recently grew out of it and announced it was now “too young” for him. A shame as I used to enjoy sneaking a look.

Original art for Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz was originally published on 12/9/1981. What beautiful scribbling! I love Sally's careful consideration in panel two and the motion in the third panel.

Looking at Charles Schulz's single-panel Peanuts dailies for an exhibition project. This one was originally published on December 30, 1989. He was an absolute master of the space he was allotted.

This one reminds me of a story he told about drawing as a kid and figuring out how to show the thickness of the ice with the hole ... a useful technical detail for a kid from Minnesota who likes to draw funny pictures.
