Chuck Forsman's POPEYE MEETS INDIANA JONES Print

Chuck Forsman needed to make the rent. He drew some key moments from the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK movie in the style of E.C. Segar's POPEYE, and put up a print for sale.

Forsman told the National Post, "Maybe I could sell 20 of these things and make rent."

Within 2 days, he had sold out of his first print run of 100. And more than made the rent.

SATURDAY EVENING POST Scrapbook Part 1

Here are some SATURDAY EVENING POST (and a few COLLIER'S) cartoons from the 1950s.

Last week, out of clear blue, a very nice woman named Kristin Cawood contacted me and asked if I wanted it. She wrote:

A few years ago in a thrift shop I came upon a scrapbook given by an aunt to her nieces in 1958 with several hundred pasted cartoons mostly from the Saturday Evening Post, some from the newspapers and some from Colliers.

I thought it was really cool, but now I am trying to clean up some clutter and just couldn't throw it out. I saw your blog and thought you might appreciate the collection. It was so lovingly assembled. Anyway, would be glad to mail it to you if you have any interest.

Well, I sure do and a big public THANK YOU to Kirstin for sending this on. I'll be posting more of these in future.
