Now and then I sometimes . . . OK, I often . . . in my collecting for this blog come across an artist I like but just can't place. When my ignorance comes to the fore like this, I always turn to the life-saving Grand Comics Database. And sometimes, like with today's post, even this great resource offers no help. Any ideas anyone? If I absolutely had to give a name, I'd say Don Gormley. The stars of today's story, Sam -N- Simian, were Walter Lanz characters that never got much of a chance. They appeared in exactly one cartoon. Well, no matter - I though the artwork was really fine. This comes from Four Color No. 1132, August October, 1960.
PS: Jim Engel, who supplied the tremendous artwork of this blog's banner, likes John Carey for this story. I'll go along with Jim!
