Group of Eight Newspaper cartoons, 1963-1983 Ind

Group of Eight Newspaper cartoons, 1963-1983 India ink, blue pencil, lithographic crayon, and gouache on heavyweight paper 12-1x4 x 13-1x2 inches (31.1 x 34.3 cm) (I've Got Nothing-But-Secrets, image) Each signed in lower region These eight original cartoons feature Uncle Sam as America's cartoonists portrayed him in the second half of the 20th century. John T. Coulthard was a commercial artist, illustrator and cartoonist who generally worked on a free-lance basis. Date or place of publication for this work is not known, but it is undoubtedly from an election year, and Uncle Sam is leading the charge for the Republicans. (image size 10" x 7") Steve Greenberg is an editorial cartoonist and graphic artist whose work has been published in numerous newspapers. These two Uncle Sam originals appeared in the pages of the Valley News (1980) and Daily News (August 3, 1983) of Los Angeles, California. Both are inscribed and signed in the margin to Murray Harris. (image sizes: 6.75" x 9.25" and 6.25" x 8.5") This humorous original by Wayne Stayskal was published in Chicago's American andxor the Chicago Tribune in December 1975. The newspaper's date stamp appears on the back. It is signed and inscribed "Best Wishes to Murray Harris from Wayne Stayskal" in the bottom margin. Mr. Stayskal was the chief editorial cartoonist for the American, and his work was syndicated worldwide. (image size: 10.25" x 8.25") Lynn Brudon was active in newspaper cartooning as early as 1929. His original titled Beached But Good was published in the Orlando Sentinel on April 27, 1967, and presents Uncle Sam and America's "Cape Canaveral Missile Program" tied down by a host of labor issues. "The Commie World" haunts his thoughts. (image size: 6.25" x 14.5") Jim Ivey created this cartoon titled Mr. K Sends His Regards of the USSR's Nikita Khrushchev tipping his hat to, and Uncle Sam seriously put out by, the depredations of the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama in the 1960s. The Soviet Union was regularly castigated by Westerners for its human rights abuses and, in turn, was quick to point to similar shortcomings in their opponents. Mr. Ivey was an editorial cartoonist at the Washington Star, St. Petersburg Times, Orlando Sentinel, and San Francisco Examiner. This original is from his stay at the Examiner from 1959 to 1966. (image size: 11" x 9") Henry Clark "Hank" Barrow was an Associated Press artist and drew the syndicated comic panel The Gay Thirties (1930s) and comic strip Things to Come (1940s). In 1949 he joined the Omaha World-Herald (Nebraska) as its editorial cartoonist and remained with the paper to his retirement in 1971. This environmental-themed original titled How Did I Ever Get into This Up to Here? appeared in that paper on August 13, 1965. (image size: 13.75" x 12") Editorial cartoonist Jim Dobbins spent most of his career with newspapers in the Boston area, and he created this Uncle Sam original titled I've Got Nothing-But-Secrets for the Boston Herald-Traveler. It was published on June 27, 1971. Mr. Dobbins was with the Herald-Traveler from 1956-1972.
