Roy Crane and BUZ SAWYER

From the fifth issue of Cartoonist PROfiles, February 1970: Roy Crane shares more from his scrapbook "How to Draw Buz Sawyer."

This is the second part of the series. The first "How to Draw Buz Sawyer" is here.



From Jud Hurd's into:

"Following are some additional selections from what is in reality a big textbook on how to use the 'Craftint' shading medium effectively. It was prepared originally by Crane as a guide for the use of Roy's artist assistant Hank Schlensker, and was donated by Roy to the Syracuse University Manuscript Collection some years ago."

A big hat tip to Don Orehek for this issue of Cartoonist PROfiles!

Huntington, NY: The Cinema Arts Centre screened the 1971 movie LITTLE MURDERS, followed by an onstage chat with screenwriter Jules Feiffer. Mr Feiffer also received a literary award, the 2011 'Champion of Literacy.'

"'I grew up on film and comic strips,' Feiffer said. 'Like all kids I had dreams and I tried to act on them. Some people give up their dreams. Cartoonists in part never grow up.'"

Michele Antonio, writing for the Huntington Patch, has the whole story here.
