This cartoon appeared in a Barnes Noble Dog Calendar a few years ago. I like dog and cat stuff, especially cat cartoons . . In my humble opinion, Sam Gross is the master of the cat cartoon.
Mike, You are absolutely right . . I got stuck on thinking about the "old timers" - - and Sam was doing cat magazine cartoons when Stephanie was two years old !
Actually, also there are " Booth cats ". And of course several others. And I KNOW Stephanie's cats have a huge following . . I know Donna Barstow LOVES her cats as many other cat affecionados do.
Let's hear it for cats!
I'd love to see a " Mankoff cat " or a " Bruce Eric Caplan cat ", wouldn't you ?
But that doesn't mean anything - - I don't remember seeing a " Chon Day cat " or a Gardner Rea cat ", do you ?
After graduating from Tucson High School in 1953 I attended the Billy Hon School of Cartooning in Los Angeles.
I then joined the U.S. Marines for four years, and ended up in Washington, D.C..
After getting honourably discharged, I enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art where I studied figure drawing.
In 1976 I founded and was CEO of a 34 man sign company specializing in Trade Show Decorations, Exhibits and Signage for the largest 100 Associations in the U.S. We later expanded and added an electrical sign division where we designed and manufactured electrical signs for many Fortune 500 companies.
The company was sold in 2oo2. I now draw cartoons passionately full-time from my mountain-top home and studio in wild & wonderful West Virginia.
My cartoons have appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest, etc. and recently Playboy magazine where Mr. Hefner just purchased 15 colour cartoons in May and June of 2007.
