SynopsisMany cartoonists have successfully caused brief splashes of excitement throughout history but simply don't have what it takes to command the world's attention for half a century. That is, unless you're comic genius Mort Walker, beloved creator of the cartoon strips Hi and Lois and Beetle Bailey. Mort Walker's Private Scrapbook provides a comprehensive look at the life and work of this suave cartoonist for his legions of fans and aficionados of the comic world alike. In this extensive work painstakingly compiled by Walker over the course of two years, he collects his earliest artwork, reveals who his characters are based on, follows the development of his creations, and relates a fascinating perspective about the evolution of the cartooning world. This full-color scrapbook is a unique glimpse into the window of cartooning that only award-winning veteran artist Mort Walker could provide. This book will be essential for comic strip historians, collectors, and faithful fans.

Lots of fun - for an ADULT fan of comics.
Mort Walker's Private Scrapbook is a great read. It has lots of interesting facts about Mort's life, tons of comics from his various strips, and a TON of behind-the-scenes information. It's funny and informative at the same time. Be forewarned: It does contain a little bit of cartoon nudity, so some people may not want to let small children read it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good book on the newspaper comics.
I liked the pictures and information on the development of Beetle Bailey and Hi & Lois comics. Quite a bit of the book did seem like a lot of bragging.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
