A Charles Saxon Shout-Out
It’s always a treat to see one cartoonist say nice things about another. Here’s Bill Abbott on Facebook talking about the late very great Charles Saxon.*
* Mr. Abbott suggests in his shout out that Saxon “never actually wrote any of his own material” — I believe he’s thinking of George Price, who is the only New Yorker cartoonist, other than Helen Hokinson, who relied solely on provided ideas.
And here’s Charles Saxon’s entry on the Spill‘s A-Z:
Charles Saxon Born in Brooklyn, Nov 13, 1920, died in Stamford, Conn., Dec 6, 1988. NYer work: 1943 – 1991 (2 drawings published posthumously). Key collection: One Man’s Fancy ( Dodd, Mead, 1977).
Bonus! Here’s a link to a fun Saxon photo I’d not seen until this morning.
Those photos of Charles Saxon in the company of his own cartoon characters are priceless. I’ve attended a few suburban parties that were straight out of a Saxon cartoon. His wit was as dry as a country-club martini.
