Simple, one panel. Like Ney Yorker.

The bit about the two dogs fighting over a pillow had me lol. Thank you for not pulling the image from my recent post on my Halloween display for Shaman Drum as a negative example.John Rozumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626209473214085436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-43951676359288256752007-10-06T12:33:00.000-05:002007-10-06T12:33:00.000-05:00I can't tell you much about Marvin Townsend, but t...I can't tell you much about Marvin Townsend, but this work is from the tail end of a career spanning at least 30 years, with little success as near as I can tell. He pops up here and there in various low-budget magazines of all sorts through the mid-20th century, but ultimately the handful of Xerox Book Club books from the early '70s are his most well-remembered work. I've had a tiny pocket-sized collection of his early 1940s cartoons for a consumer-protection magazine formatted and ready to go for a couple of years, but I never finished it because I was trying to find SOMETHING out about him for a bio, but thus far, no dice.Devlin Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358271733393938491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-60684846984265714332007-10-06T08:06:00.000-05:002007-10-06T08:06:00.000-05:00Ooooh.

Have you ever seen the "Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact"? Looks like he was published in there.Sparkle Plentyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580457285524512613noreply@blogger.com
