being a "paste-up" and "layout" artist. When there were no computers but just sheets of different types, now called Fonts,which had to be lined up for copy to be sent to press. When we needed more comprehensive copy we would send it to a type setter. I would then organize the layout of the graphic and incorperate the text. All mostly done with an exacto knife to carefully get all of the components to come together to make a good ad for publishing.

Cartoons go back a long long time. I love cartoon polical cartoons. Actually all cartoons. Definitely cartoons are high art. I love them.
