I found a fascinating little publication in UT’s Special Collections<\/a> a few weeks ago. I was doing some research for the next phase of TNDP (NEH grant application pending), when I came across this 1903 booklet, The Journal and Tribune’s Book of Cartoons<\/em>. <\/em>The Knoxville-based cartoonist was Ernest E. Burtt. A quick search online led me to a website rich in information about cartoons and cartoonists: the International Team of Comic Historians, aka ITCH.* The website contained a page scanned from the May 1913 issue of Cartoons Magazine<\/em> (see below), featuring many cartoonists, and amongst them – Ernest E. Burtt. The page gives a short bio and even a photo of the artist. The piece also solved the mystery of who the little creature was that kept popping up in the Journal and Tribune<\/em>‘s editorial cartoons – Rad the dog!<\/p>\n
