Mike Lynch’s Cartoon Scrapbook

001

If you haven’t been following inky pal Mike Lynch’s blog lately, you’re missing out on some really great old cartoons he was sent recently by a reader:

A few years ago in a thrift shop I came upon a scrapbook given by an aunt to her nieces in 1958 with several hundred pasted cartoons mostly from the Saturday Evening Post, some from the newspapers and some from Colliers.

I thought it was really cool, but now I am trying to clean up some clutter and just couldn’t throw it out. I saw your blog and thought you might appreciate the collection. It was so lovingly assembled. Anyway, would be glad to mail it to you if you have any interest.

Talk about a goldmine! Go read:

The Boy’s “Cartooning Basics” Drawings

My 6-year-old son, commonly referred to here as "The Boy," recently absconded with my copy of inky pal Mike Lynch’s Cartooning Basics, and I doubt I’ll ever see the book again.

Here’s just a few of his Lynch-inspired cartoons:

Are those fun or what?!

Seriously go buy two copies before they’re gone.  One for you, and one for the next child that crosses your path.
