Roy Delgado: Remembering the Billy Hon Cartoon School

Roy Delgado shares some memories of the Billy Hon School, Billy Hon's Cartoonist's Magazine, as well as The Cartoonists' Market Letter, which was edited by a trade journal cartoonist named Lew Card.

The above is detail from an ad in The America Cartoonist, a trade journal of the 1950s and 60s. I love Roy's descriptions of some of the ads. Here's one:

CARTOONISTS - Get in on the ground floor of new markets as they open up by getting the dope while it's HOT. " CARTOONISTS' WEEKLY MARKET LETTER " supplies you with the latest market info as well as news and inter-studio chit-chat of just about everybody in the freelance gag-cartoon business. FREE sample copy. CARTOONISTS' WEEKLY MARKET LETTER, La Habra, Calif.

I posted some samples from a 1951 issue of The American Cartoonist magazine in January, thanks to Bob Weber, Sr.

Bob, where would Roy and I be without you cleaning out your house?!
