SPEAKING OF PICTURES … Soldier Cartoonist Portrays Wolf In GI Clothing. Along with the Jeep, the robot bomb and Spam, the wolf in GI clothing will become one of the historical mementos of WWII. The most amusing testimonial to this wartime phenomenon is a dead-pan cartoon character who has been entertaining service men for a year and a half. His name is The Wolf. His face is familiar. The brainchild of S/Sgt. Leonard Sansone, The Wolf has become a veteran soldier in his 18 months in the Army. He has had the complete training program, has been shipped overseas and has seen action. But his attitude toward a two-day pass remains essentially the same. Cartoonist Sgt. Sansone is stationed in the Camp Newspaper Service offices in New York City, where he draws The Wolf and a number of the other features which CNS distributes to service newspapers all over the world. A graduate of Massachusetts School of Art and commercial artist in civilian life, Sansone entered the Army a month after Pearl Harbor, was assigned to Fort Belvoir, Virginia, where he worked on the camp magazine “Duckboard.” ….. 1944 LIFE Magazine Picture…

Robert Crumb Movie, A Must See

Robert Crumb Movie, A Must See

I have often wondered what we would have learned, if a documentary film could have been made of Vincent Van Gogh when he was still alive. Thankfully, we live in an age where we can get a movie made about some of our great artists and see what they are really like.

The Robert Crumb movie “Crumb” shows us a sexually hyper, but frustrated man who is much like the biographical stories and illustration done by Robert Crumb in his comics and books. And, of course, he is not like that at all, being as complicate and simple as any genius artist is.

After seeing him in the flesh, I am eternally thankful that some bully didn’t beat him up and break his hands when he was a child. We are lucky to have his talent displayed in this world.

And if you have not yet seen the Robert Crumb movie then you are lucky. It is intriguing and insightful and holds together well as a documentary. If you did know about his art before seeing this flick, you will want to know more…
And for us who have enjoyed his art over the years, we get a little better understanding of what he is doing…
