Most people have never heard of Charles Landon or his pioneering, mail-order cartooning school, but they've heard of some of the people he taught.
Carl Barks (the creator of "Uncle Scrooge")
Sid Couchey (the artist for Harvey comics who worked on "Richie Rich")
Milton Caniff (the creator of "Terry and the Pirates" and "Steve Canyon")
Jack Cole (the artist who did "Plastic Man")
Roy Crane (the creator of "Wash Tubbs" and "Buzz Sawyer")
Floyd Gottfredson (who did the "Mickey Mouse" comic strip)
Bill Holman (creator of "Smokey Stover")
Bill Mauldin (who did Willie and Joe for "Stars and Stripes")
Chic Young (who created "Blondie"
Vince Hamlin (who created "Alley Oop")
These men had at least three things in common: 1) They were all born between 1900 and 1921; 2) They were all great cartoonists; and 3) as boys, they all answered an ad that asked them to copy this sketch.

Really terrific job! Loved the last shot with all of the layers, eventually ending on Landon's eye as the VO reached it's conclusion. Very well done.
I'm going to buy the book.

Awesome Video Uncle John!

I am the daughter of Sid Couchey, mentioned in the video as one of the cartoonists that took this course. He is now 90 and still drawing. He has often spoken fondly of this course and how important it was getting him started. Excellent video. Thanks!

Great Video!

Excellent video. well scripted. Good use of editing, After Effects and 3D Studio Max? Historic information is facinating and would probably do well on the History Channel. Thanks for sharing.

This is an outstanding primer on one of the biggest influences on 20th century cartooning in America. Well worth a watch, especially if you're interested in cartooning, publishing, journalism, printing or the history of any or all of those. Looks like the book itself is worthwhile as well.

Very insightful. Not only informative about the Landon Art School, but there were many interesting facts of history. Two thumbs up!
