Anderson and Stamaty

Brad Anderson, creator of the Marmaduke daily panel and Sunday strip, was born in 1924. He has been at cartooning a long time; he sold his first cartoons when he was 15 years old.

Stanley Stamaty was a gag cartoonist, father of children's book author/artist Mark Alan Stamaty. I wish I knew more about Stamaty the elder. I love his spontaneous and expressive drawings.

All of these cartoons are from YOU'VE GOT ME IN THE SUBURBS, edited by Lawrence Larier, published by Dodd, Mead & Company.

See Mark Alan Stamaty's two page cartoon narrative about his father in the Oct. 31, 2011 New Yorker cartoon issue

Thanks for posting these Stanley Stamaty cartoons. Mark Alan Stamaty has a two-page strip about his parents at pp 78-79 of the October 31, 2011 issue of the New Yorker. It shows his father (1916-79) sketching cartoons until minutes before his death of a heart attack at age 63.
