More F.G. Cooper

I stopped over at Filboid Studge, which I hadn't been to in awhile, and saw two excellent posts of F.G. Cooper images and info. I can't get enough of his stuff--I wish I could be this guy! He seems to be one of the smartest cartoonists ever.

Follow this link for two big posts specific to Cooper, plus his inclusion in some themed posts with other Life cartoonists.

Food: Don't Waste It!

Here's a poster by typography and cartooning master F.G. Cooper, made during the war to inspire people to save food. He did a couple like this for the U.S. Food Administration.

I saw somebody selling a couple copies of this poster on ebay today and started fooling around with thier scans. I doctored them up and made a nice hi-res two color version that I could print out for myself sometime.

Complete Guide to Professional Cartooning

Steve Worth over at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive blog has begun posting pages from Gene Byrnes' Complete Guide to Professional Cartooning! My pal Marc Crisafulli has loaned the Archive his copy of the book. I posted a few pages from the same book in the last couple weeks, but Steve looks like he's able to put them up at a much faster clip than I ever could. So, go over there and check them out, but don't stop looking here!!!

Links to pages I posted:
page 150: F.G. Cooper
