Week 3: Gary Panter

Panter is a post-underground cartoonist and on top of comics and illustrations also did painting and design. Apparently, he designed the sets of Pee Wee's Playhouse...which explains a lot, regarding the images below.

Week 3: Winsor McKay

Or Winsor McCay, as Google--and indeed, pretty much the entire internet--insists on spelling it. Anyway, he's an animator and cartoonist, responsible for the comics A Tale of the Jungle Imps by Felix Fiddle, Little Sammy Sneeze, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend, The Story of Hungry Henrietta, A Pilgrim's Progress, Poor Jake, and most famously, Little Nemo in Slumberland.

I wouldn't mind getting a look at Little Nemo--I'm given to understand it's got a charming surreality and creative spirit to it. I wonder if I could find it online? It's bound to be public domain by now...



I get the feeling that this sequnce is what most people think of when they think of Little Nemo

Week 3: Lorenzo Mattotti

Itallian cartoonist and illustrator, Mattotti is known for, among other things, his magezine illustrations and graphic novel adaptation of Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde.

If nothing else, he's got an interesting and unique look to his work.

Week 3: Harvey Kurtzman

Harvey Harvey Harvey Kurtzman, the fouder of Mad magezine--immediately tying him to biting parody, satire, and occaionally childishness. To be perectly honest, about all I know from Mad is an old Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions collection my dad used to have.
