The Ancient Tome Has Been Recovered

3960

The secrets. I has them now. THE SECRETS ARE MINE.

The book: Editorial Cartooning. The author: Dick Spencer III, School of Journalism, State University of Iowa. Published by The Iowa State College Press, 1949. 

Since I've managed to acquire just about every modern art technique book I'm likely to want I have begun to be fond of vintage art instruction books. Bob Ross, Mark Crilley, Christopher Hart, all those, have defined this genre, but even they stand on others' shoulders: Jon Nagy, Bill Alexander, and others. Those forbears are oftimes as interesting as their intellectual descendants. 

Never heard of this Dick Spencer III guy, though. I intend to find out. Important enough to author a college-published book about the subject. 

I have some suspicion that the secrets may be beyond their pull-dates though.
