Does anyone know if Herbert Arnold Hartig became an artist?

I was perusing a cheap ebay win of one of my favorite esoteric street and smith books...

 

how to draw for the comics (Gerber 7, 21-50 exist)

 

and out fell a few original sketches...

 

I love this book as you usually find it with artwork by kids or adults inside and it can be very appealing and interesting from the time.

 

It's a book I will continue to buy every time I see one, as they are always different on the inside and of course, there is a bio on George Marcoux with a color supersnipe page.....

 

if you collect shadow, doc savage, or other street and smith titles and you're a completionist, your not done until you get a copy of this mail away comic.

I'm serious here....I googled the name and found someone that was involved somehow with writing for the muppets Those of you that are good investigators, help a guy out?

 

Thanks

He definitely wrote for Sesame Street, as you mentioned.

Look for "Herb Hartig"....

 

He wrote a song for the original 1968 film of "The Producers"

BINGO!

 

I'd say it's a safe bet that this is the same Herb Hartig. And yes, he did do illustration work:
