Like many of you I grew up in a world of cartoons. Shows like Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McDraw, The Flintstones and Jetsons were shown as family programs during prime time TV viewing in the evenings. Other cartoons like the older Warner Bros cartoons, Popeye, and Woody Woodpecker were part of the Sat morning break we school kids got.
Back then, all these images were drawn by hand.
As a youngster I liked the comical comic books like Dennis the Menace, Casper, Hot Stuff, Sad Sack/Sarge, and so forth. Superman, Spider man, Buck Rogers, Roy Rogers, Super Hero types didn't interest me. I read the comic pages of the newspapers till the newspapers became a tool of the left wing and stopped the subscriptions. Plus, as a teen, there were the old MAD magazines.
I read so many comics that the cartoonist names stuck like:
Hank Ketchum---Dennis the Menace
Walter Lance----Woody Woodpecker, Chili Willie, others
Charles Schulz---Peanuts
Mel Blanc---did many of the voices on the Warner Bros cartoons
Walt Disney---Began Mickey Mouse in 1928
and so forth...
Dilbert. For years I glanced over the comics due to the way Dilbert looked. I didn't care for the artwork. Later in life I grew to appreciate the thoughts that went into the strip and it became my favorite. Any of us who have worked in offices can relate to some of the "office life" incidents told. Anyway, this thread comes about with the passing of Scott Adams the creator of Dilbert.
This probably doesn't interest most of you but some the above was a part of your life and as a thread there wasn't much else to read here at the time anyway.
