BOOT Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Got this weird comic recently. Combination of cartoons, multipanel stories/gags, and comic pages. Love the provenance on the cover. Not listed in any Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 What a great find. The above cartoonist later became a humor columnist for the St. Petersburg Times. This remembrance of Bothwell is from the paper's website: Link As a columnist, D ick Bothwell loved to crack jokes about stuck zippers, asparagus, exploding outhouses and country preachers. But his favorite target was himself. A man once described as "the St. Petersburg edition of Will Rogers,'' Bothwell switched places with a radio deejay for a day, became an extra in a TV movie and entered a beautiful legs contest — anything for a chuckle. He also liked to compare himself to Hollywood leading man Robert Redford: "Women will look me boldly in the eye and say suggestive things like, 'Have a good day,' which is obviously a come-on.'' The tall Dakotan taught himself to draw by correspondence course and came to St. Petersburg in 1939 as an editorial cartoonist at the princely salary of $17.50 a week. When he returned from World War II service in the Pacific, he began reporting on the weather. That led to a general assignment reporting role and two columns — Of All Things (OAT) in 1962 and Brighten Up Monday (BUM) in 1978. In the newsroom, he was known for the candy jar atop his desk and, of course, his self-deprecating humor. One day in January 1981 he dressed as a cowboy and twirled a lasso as colleagues guffawed. The next morning, he died of an apparent heart attack at age 63. "For most of our readers, D ick Bothwell was the St. Petersburg Times,'' executive editor Robert Haiman said. "His column wrapped them in a blanket of good humor, nostalgia and optimism that made them feel good about themselves. A reader once wrote me, 'I read Bothwell first every morning to get the warm snugglies; then I can turn back to page 1 and face the bad news.'''
