DRAWN Out
Leo Cullum, New Yorker Cartoonist, Dies at 68
This guy was really funny.
He had a very interesting life.
Combat pilot, career pilot for TWA and American Airlines.
And one of the most prolific and published (not the same thing) gag cartoonists. Particularly at The New Yorker where he had an item in the last issue.
His people had googly eyes that he enhanced with an undrawn circle. You could see the whites of their eyes and no eyeliner.
He was very good with business people, animals and doctors. Go figure.
I laughed a lot at his work and admired its depth. It is pretty hard to be funny and deep at the same time.
