My father did pen and ink for some cartoonists in the 60’s and 70’s. His name was Les Rhodes. He worked for George Crenshaw and Dick Rogers, on strips like Belvedere, Nubbin, and Johnny Wonder, and Simpkins. These history strips have brought back memories of strathmore sheets, spilled winsor newton ink, zipatone shading and syndicate mailing deadlines. My Dad was great with both brush and rapidograph pens for lettering, and used a light table a lot for tracing characters.
