Our Cartoons for YOU

Hogan's Alley #13
This page contains doorways to the material that we were unable to fit into the print edition of Hogan's Alley #13 and material that we were unable to present in color. While we think you'll enjoy the following material on its own merits, we think you'll find it an even more rewarding experience if you read the related stories in Hogan's Alley #13. To purchase Hogan's Alley #13 ($8, which includes postage) or to subscribe for four issues ($22.95) and receive #13 as your first issue, please visit our ordering page.

'The Smythes' Web extras

We weren't able to show all of the Smythes strips we had on hand, so we're presenting the unreprinted strips here along with the ones we reprinted in the issue. Rea Irvin's minor masterpiece is as striking today as it was seven decades ago, and we hope you enjoy them.

Ethel Hays Web extras

If you've read the article on Ethel Hays, you already know what a supremely talented artist she was, not to mention a trailblazer for women cartoonists. Enjoy more of her breathtakingly lovely work here!

Patrick McDonnell's "Mutts" Web extras

Patrick McDonnell's step-by-step tour of how he creates his marvelous Sunday pages was a fascinating look at the thought process of one of America's most popular cartoonists. While we weren't able to present his lovely color guides in the color in which they were meant to be show, we've made them available here. They'll add a new dimension to your appreciation of the careful work that goes into every detail of his strip!

Charlotte Braun Web extra

Good ol' Charlotte Braun! In our letters page this issue, we responded to a reader who was curious about the brief, star-crossed Peanuts character known as Charlotte Braun. (In her brief career, she was the bizarro Charlie Brown, you might say). Accompanying our response was a January 1955 letter that Charles Schulz wrote to Elizabeth Swaim, a reader who had urged Schulz to give Charlotte her walking papers. Space constraints forced us to print the amusing letter small, but here we can show it to you more legibly.

 

George Luks Web extras

If you read Hogan's Alley #13, you now the story of the talented fine artist who took over the Yellow Kid after its creator, R.F. Outcault, left for the rival newspaper. Here, you'll be able to see some of his Yellow Kid art as well as some of his groundbreaking fine artwork.

Buy Hogan's Alley #13, with the above features and more.
