Look's Cartoonist Series - Charles Addams, Hilda Terry and Fred Neher


This doesn't have much to do with comics in the DC area except that I bought 3 old Look Magazine issues at Arlington's library sale this weekend because they had articles on cartoonists. The magazines themselves are going to Michigan State U's Comic Art Collection later this week, but here's scans of the articles (with a bonus Rollin Kirby editorial) and some of the ads by cartoonists will be online later this week. Does anyone know how many of these profiles Look did? Or have scans of other ones to share?

Charles Addams, Look's 5th Cartoonist Series, 12/15/1942

Hilda Terry, Look's 9th Cartoonist Series, 4/6/1943

And in Sunday's WaPost

Frazz references a classic comic - Charles Addams this time - much as Lio did last week.

Emily Flake makes what might be her first appearance, illustrating the Jobs section (note the article next to it on archivist Connie Potter with whom I used to work).

The Book World gives a brief mention to McSweeny's latest project, THE BOOK OF OTHER PEOPLE edited by Zadie Smith, a book which includes Clowes, Posy Simmonds and Charles Burns.

Sometimes comic book writer Paul di Filippo reviews science fiction books.
