Gill Fox

Here's a guy whose name I've seen before, but I didn't realize what a great and versatile cartoonist he was until I checked out one of my new favorite comic strip sites:

Fox did an amazing imitation here of Hank Ketcham's style. Did he work for Ketcham for awhile?
Look how controlled and beautiful the layouts are. People could sure draw way back when!

Here's a funny 40s dirty style.



Here's a character Eddie told me about, "Peter Pain" and I thought he just made it up! What great ads. Doesn't this just make you crave pain and relief?I can't believe one guy can draw in so many styles.


Here's one Amid will love. (Me too!)
