My first book, <i>Screwball! The Cartoonists Who Made the Funnies Funny</i> is scheduled for publication in September 2018. The publisher will be The Library of American Comics/IDW. Eisner-Award winner Dean Mullany will design and edit the book, with Bruce Canwell and Lorraine Turner providing their expertise, as well. It will be a large, full-color hardcover art book offering around 275 pages resplendent with rare comics, art, photos and original research.<br />
<br />
The story of screwball comics in America is a large topic, more sprawling than one book can reasonably encompass if one wishes to present satisfying chunks of reprints. <b>Foo</b> this reason, I decided, after much deliberation, to narrow the focus of this book on American newspaper comics up to about 1950.<br />
<br />
This means the screwballists who primarily worked in comic books -- Jack Cole, Dick Briefer, Basil Wolverton, Harvey Kurtzman, Will Elder, Al Jaffee -- are saved for, hopefully, another volume. Even with this limitation, it was necessary to halve my list. Hey-- waitaminit - why am I telling you what SNOT in the book? If I want you to read my book, maybe I should tell you some of what <b>will </b>be in it!<br />
<br />
We are creating a retrospective that will be broad and deep. There will be 15 chapters, each one focusing on a particular cartoonist or comic strip with an in-depth text essay and assortment of carefully curated strips, art, and photos. Years of searching and thousands of dollars have gone into procuring the art for this book. The final selection represents not just my work, but the tireless work of many other collectors, scholars, archivists and librarians. I am deeply grateful for their help.<br />
<br />
The chapters are arranged in order by the birth years of the cartoonists so one gets a sense of the overall progression of the arc of screwball humor in newspaper comic strips. The total span starts in the late 1870s and ends around 1950. In addition to newspaper comics, the study also touches on screwballism in magazine cartoons and comics, animation, movies, advertising, books, postcards, and more.<br />
<br />
Aside from being fun to read, this stuff really fries ice! Zany humor comic strips link up more than we realize to screwballism in other popular art forms. Thus, to understand Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers, Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Spike Jones, Ernie Kovacs, and Harvey Kurtzman, studying the comic strips they read -- and the cartoonists they personally knew and worked with -- enhances the picture.<br />
<br />
I've selected a mixture of famous and obscure cartoonists. In the case of the well-known cartoonists, I've dug deep to provide more comics, art, and information than what has been commonly available. I've treated the obscure cartoonists with the same respect. In two cases, I'm focussing only on a single strip. In one case, the cartoonist's life and work has been well-covered already, except for the single screwball masterpiece (<i>Stumble Inn). </i>In the other case, Boody Rogers, the cartoonist worked mainly in comic books, but had one sublime nutty comic strip.<br />
<br />
As of this writing, and subject to change, here is the list of chapters, in the order they will appear:<br />
<br />
Frederick Opper<br />
Eugene "Zim" Zimmerman<br />
Walter R. Bradford<br />
Clare Victor "Dwig" Dwiggins<br />

This annual event is free and attended by 250 kids -- a worthy cause, to be sure.<br />
<br />
I met Michael because we share a common interest: old comics. Michael is a journalist, chess instructor, and book author. He's written notable books on Zydeco music and New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. His latest project, years in the works, is a full-fledged, whole enchilada biography of Krazy Kat's creator, George Herriman.<br />
<br />
Micheal has been kind enough to read drafts of my various professional writings on comics and offer helpful suggestions. He also kindly let me give him an early version of one of my lectures, via Skype.<br />
<br />
So, when he contacted me to say the artist he had lined up to design his t-shirt wasn't going to be able to do it, and did I have any ideas, how could I say no? I spent a few days thinking about it and then, in a two-hour session, here's what I created:<br />

I was ready to stop at seven designs, but I've learned that sometimes it is good to push forward and make "one extra" in this sort of exercise -- because my creativity has been warmed up, and my internal editor is tired out. It sometimes pays off to push for "one more." Here's the last one I created.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To my delight, Michael was excited about these designs. He liked the trumpet series, but chose the last design as the one. Here's the final art:</div>

It turns out that some folks collect chess t-shirts. I have received several comments on this design to the effect that it's one of the best chess t-shirts some folks have seen -- which is flattering! </div>

Michael used this as an incentive for the New Orleans Chess Fest's successful Kickstarter to raise funds. I am happy to have been able to use my powers for good!</div>

The <i>Floating Head of Humtulips</i> is a spontaneous, four-way collaboration minicomic by <a href="http://mortythedoggaragesale.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Steve Willis</a>, <a href="http://www.trickcoin.net/" target="_blank">Jim Gill</a>, <a href="http://carterfamilycomix.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Frank Young</a>, and me -- Paul Tumey. This was created in about 20 minutes in 2012 in the hometown of Steve Willis, McLeary, Washington. We were in a tiny public building that had a comical sign on its wall: "Building Occupency Maximum 75 People." This amused us for two reasons -- one was the misspelling, and two: getting 75 people in that tiny building, you'd really have to jam them in. Frank Young incorporated the sign into his page for the mini.<br />

If you invite cartoonists over to the house, here's a tip -- get them to draw and then keep the art! David Lasky brought the paper, magically folded into little blank books and funny drawings and narratives magically appeared on these pages.<br />
<br />
I really like the looseness of the art in these pages -- it's sort of "pure" comics.<br />
<br />
David very kindly gave the books to me -- thanks! It was suggested that I post the comics here, and so I am -- twist my ink-stained arm! The artists include Max Clotfelter, Kelly Froh, Seth Goodkind, Robyn Jordan, David Lasky, Rich Stevens, Tom Van Deusen, and me. If I left anyone out, or got anything wrong in the attributions, lemme know.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone for this wonderful gift.<br />
<br />
There were two books. David Lasky started the first one with a fine, funny cover - love that "P-Yow!"<br />

I drew this comic at the monthly DUNE comics-drawing night that happens at a coffee shop here in Seattle. This night, there were so many artists working the only place I could find to sit was on the floor, in a corner of the unoccupied stage area. Stage lights were set on a looping timer, so the light was alternately very bright and very dark, every other minute. This made it almost impossible to see the paper on which I drew. Maybe that helped. I also sat next to one of my favorite cartoonists, Mark Campos, and so was inspired to really try hard.</div>

This comic, created in one evening on August 19, 2014 at the monthly Seattle comics event, DUNE tells the story of the time the artist <a href="http://www.cognitivebiasparade.com/" target="_blank">James Gill</a> and I visited a strip club on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. We were both living in Louisiana at the time and had gone to New Orleans for a fun day trip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somehow, we found ourselves on the notorious Bourbon Street -- home to strip clubs and hedonistic playgrounds. A barker in front of a strip club pointed to lewd photographs on the door of the club and shouted at us, "It's all TRUE!" Meaning, if we came into the club, and paid handsomely for tiny glasses of watered-down beer, we would witness these shocking, oddly stimulating acts between men and women. Inside, of course, was nothing at all like the photos. A single skinny, unhealthy girl lamely shuffled around a sad, shabby stage. Later, I realized the barker had not lied to us -- the photos were "true," just not what we'd see inside -- that was OUR assumption. A typical Big Easy hustle.</div>

With this page, I was experimenting with telling a story through a mix of narration and dialogue. Even though we didn't see anything exciting, I came away with a funny story when Jim... well.. read on, and you'll see:</div>

This two-page comic by me (Paul C. Tumey) was created in about 3 hours on June 17, 2014 at the monthly DUNE comics night at The Cafe Racer in Seattle, WA. This was just one of several comics created that evening and published in DUNE 20. (When I figure out who created this cover, I'll post their name, here)</div>

"Buzzed" spawned from a dream I had the night before. It started with an image from the dream and then sorta became about my whole lifetime. I was working on two things with this piece:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Tell a story with a few short narrative captions. (I was influenced by sitting next to David Lasky for a couple of DUNE nights)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Create interesting looking, loose art. I used a variety of pens, some white out, and a soft lead pencil.</div>

Olivia Gibson is the 13-year old daughter of my partner, Claire Mack and her first husband, Randy Gibson. Olivia may well be the most creative person I have ever known. She is a fearless creator, constantly making. She works in a vast array of mediums, from drawing and painting to sewing, crafts, and digital art. Before she was 10, she had written and drawn about 20 books. </div>

When I started dating her Mom, she honored me by creating special comic books for me as Christmas gifts. Here's the covers to two of them:</div>

"Terrycloth" is a true story, based on an incident from my life.<br />
<br />
Growing up outside of a religion in Louisiana during the 1970s, I was fair game. Several of the religions practiced in that area require their members to convert others. It was rare to find a middle class white person in the area who was "undecided."<br />
<br />
I was invited to numerous churches and bible study groups. I can't tell you how many times I was asked if I accepted Jesus into my life and believed in the Gospels. To me, the fact that people didn't want to be my friend, but wanted to save my soul was madness. "Terrycloth" is about being lonely and awkward, and being pressed on by religious zealots.<br />
<br />
The terrycloth headband guy told me all about how people were faith healed at his church. They passed snakes around, too, he said -- and even though the snakes bit, the power of the Lord kept people from being poisoned. He sure knew how to sell it.<br />
<br />
For weeks, that church bus would pull up outside our house early on Sunday mornings and honk several times. People knocked on our front door. I hid in the bathroom. My parents were mad at me for being awakened. Finally, the church people stopped and left us in peace.<br />
<br />
To this day, I remain a spiritual -- but not religious -- person. That being said, I respect and tolerate all ideologies, except those which harm others.<br />
<br />
This comic was created at the DUNE monthly mini-comix jam on May 20, 2014 at the Cafe Racer in Seattle, Washington. About 60 other people made one and two-page comics that night, as well. This comic, as well as the others made that night appear in DUNE #19.<br />

I did something really cool on the night of December 17, 2013. I joined 62 other artists to sit in a Seattle coffeeshop bar and work like crazy to draw pages for what became DUNE 14, a 64-page mini-comic. The only way to get into DUNE is to show up and draw (and contribute two bucks to printing costs). The only way to get a copy of this comic is, you guessed it, to show up and draw and pay your two crickets.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DUNE is a monthly comics drawing workshop open to the public and hosted by local Seattle area cartoonist Max Clotfelter. The event starts at 7 pm at the Cafe Racer, a very lived in, super cool coffee shop in Seattle's U-District (a neighborhood near the University of Washington campus). It may have been the tasty porter I was drinking, but I think I spotted hanging over the bar a huge, surreal painting of a frog by legendary Seattle cartoonist Jim Woodring.<br />
<br />
At 11 sharp, Max gathers the art, money and hightails it to the bus stop. Sometime before the next DUNE, which happens on the third Tuesday of each month, Max reduces the art, pastes it up, and prints out copies for the attendees. This is no easy feat -- and I for one really appreciate the service. </div>

After 14 months, Max's hard work is paying off. I attended DUNE last night for the January session -- and the <i>Seattle Times</i> was there, taking photos and interviewing folks for an upcoming cover story in the Sunday magazine. I had a very nice chat with the article's writer, Tyrone Beason and the photographer Lindsey Wasson. Something's in the air -- comics are suddenly hot, and getting hotter. But not super-hero comics -- these are highly personal, artistic, handmade comics. Defiantly, proudly non-commercial.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, that night, I wrote and drew a new two-page story with my character, Hoppin' Frog. I had another idea, but somehow my inner Frog would not be quiet. I don't know if anyone else is entertained at all by this slightly obscene, somewhat flatulent amphibian in a suit, but I get a laugh when I draw him. When it was revealed to me what he would do with untold wealth ( a ride in a limo filled with Cheez-Doodles), I was quite amused.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here, then, is the first ever printed story with Hoppin' Frog (I've only published his misadventures online). And my first printed comics in 12 years. It might help to know a "fin" is slang for a five-dollar bill. Thanks, Max and DUNE!</div>

Dominic intended to ink this comic over the pencils you see here, but he ran out of time. I like that the story is in pencil -- it adds to the theme.<br />
<br />
You can watch a terrific video of Dominic Gomez at work <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io6kruOoFIQ" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last night, at DUNE 15, Dominic drew another comic I wrote -- "Drawing A Breath," which continues the sketch artist theme. And I created a two pager called "The Trail Behind The Fish-Mart/De-Fanged." I will share that next month, when I get the art and comic back from Max at the next DUNE.</div>

<span style="color: #444444;">From 1988 to 1997, I lived in Massachusetts -- first in Leominster, and then in Boston. Gradually, I became a member of the counter-culture. By "counter-culture," I don't mean a socio-political movement, as much as I mean a gastro-intestinal movement. Namely, diner culture. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">New England is, among other things, a treasure trove of classic vintage diners. Many of the pre-fabricated railroad car style diners were manufactured in Worcester, Massachusetts -- so it makes sense that a large concentration of diners settled across the state, like so many patty melts falling from the sky. I used to go around the state hunting old diners. It became an idle past-time, and then an obsession. I met some of the owners, and ate many a fine meal while sitting at a gleaming chrome counter. One favorite was the Miss Worcester lunch car, where -- if memory serves -- they cooked their home fries in sausage grease -- this may not sound great, but it was very tasty on a mid-winter day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">One of my favorite days was when I joined several other diner fanatics and took a day-long bus tour of diners, sponsored by the Society of Commercial Archaeology. What a day that was! Bacon burgers here, homemade apple pies there, turkey and gravy on spongy white bread -- mmmmm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">My love for diners found its way into my work at the time. I created a long comic book called "The Last Diner." I hosted an author event at my bookstore with Richard Gutman, a great diner and culture historian. I also wrote and drew a three-page comic story that appeared in a nifty diner fanzine called "Counter Culture." Recently, the original art for this strip surfaced. I remember being interested in showing the wonderful, womb-like feeling of enclosure a well-made old fashioned diner booth gives you. The narrative comes from an event that happened more than once. I felt kinda bad, knocking diner food -- so I didn't draw any of the more beautiful art deco visual tropes of diners into this strip -- to sort of distance them from the lousy food at Jo's, my mythical diner. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BOLERY RANEL is my 1982 one-pager comic inspired by Milt Gross. At the time, I was attending Florida State University in Tallahassee. While I acquired a somewhat mediocre liberal arts education there, I used the fabulous microfilm archives of the university's Strozier Library to provide myself with an education on newspaper comics history. At the time, rerpint books were few and far between. The only real in-depth books on American newspaper comics were Bill Blackbeard's Hyperion Library (Strozier has a complete set). Hmmm... come to think of it, perhaps my mediocre college education was in part the result of those stolen hours spent as a comics archaeologist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For three years, I regularly visited the twilight basement of the huge library where I sat in front of ancient microfilm viewers and noisily cranked through tens of thousands of muddy newspaper images to search for great old comics. Little did I know that my long-time friend and colleague, Frank Young (winner with David Lasky of the 2013 Eisner award for The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song) was doing the very same thing -- our paths probably crossed several times before we met. In this way, I read a ton of Herriman, Segar, and Milt Gross, my favorite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Milt Gross had a strip called Nize Baby in which a young boy unwittingly created chaos in his cranky father's life. The last panel of the Sunday comic usually depicted the boy being spanked by a fuming father. I emulated that in my one-pager. In my own way, I also emulated Gross' line. I drew the page directly in ink, with no pencils, and without looking at Gross' work -- but it was in my mind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I should also mention my friend Kevin Lakey, who owned a copy of Gross' book, Nize Baby. We'd sometimes hang out, drink too much, and have a lot of fun reading the brilliant Yiddish-English accounts out loud. Kevin was an actor and relished Gross' richly comical language.</div>

<i><b>Explication of Bolery Ranel: </b></i><br />
A man named Bolery Ranel is walking with his son past a bookstore. The bookstore is mobbed with fans of a book called "Bowling Panels." The boy -- taken with the similarity in names - mentions it to his Dad, causing a huge crowd to chase him up down the street. He saves himself by climbing up a phone pole.<br />

Here's a selection of comics drawn on ruled notebook paper. Virtually everybody has done comics and doodles as a school student. These efforts to combat stultifying lectures and asphyxiating boredom are "pure" cartooning, with little editing -- a mainline to the subconscious.<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of these are drawn by my 12-year old son, Reid, but I've thrown a few of my own, as well. I really love Reid's glyph style of cartooning. A while back, inspired by ancient western Indian rock art, I designed a few glyphs of my own. On his own, Reid began making his own symbols, and incorporated that into his visual expression.<br />
<br />
Next posting, I'll share entire comic stories on notebook paper by the talented Olivia Gibson, my partner's daughter.<br />
