With a neatly placed underscoring just under the middle of the last name. ![]() You saw his signature in all those places. Which proves that prayer works.įor about a decade, Henry Boltinoff was producing Stoker the Broker, a newspaper panel syndicated by Washington Star Syndicate (and then McNaught) full-page and half-page comic strip fillers for National Periodicals comic books (now DC Comics) and panel cartoons for magazines like Saturday Evening Post, Look, Collier’s, Ladies Home Journal, and the like. Driving with Henry was somewhat harrowing: he didn’t steer so much as he lunged, veering sharply-suddenly-off in whichever direction he chose. We talked for an hour or so and then went to lunch. Tired of packing and unpacking, she said, Let’s move to Florida. But, Henry said, his wife put her foot down at last. At first, they’d go to Florida for several months of the year, then return to the New York area. They’d been living full-time in Florida only about four years at the time. He lived alone, his wife having died in about 1992. So I went to his place at Lake Worth, a snug little townhouse in English Court. I asked Jud Hurd, editor/publisher of Cartoonist PROfiles, who was around there, who he’d like a story on and he suggested Henry. And while I was in the neighborhood, I thought I’d call on various cartoonists who lived in the vicinity. I was down in Boca Raton, visiting the International Museum of Cartoon Art (since closed) to assemble original art for an exhibit at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, Washington. I met Henry Boltinoff on February 14, 1998. He didn’t sign his name big, but it was still a very visible signature. And his signature was one of the best-known in the business. He was one of the last of a vanishing breed- the cartoonists who began working in the 1930s and worked in every venue of cartooning, magazines and comic books and newspaper comic strips. He had been a cartoonist all his life, since about 1933. Surprising? I truly wish it were.Henry Boltinoff died April 26, 2001. He’s just another player in this flagrant caricature of cash-register politics at its worst. ![]() Where could the watchdog have gone? Likely through the all-too-common revolving door that leads to a lucrative private-industry job, where he’ll be paid handsomely for his access and insider knowledge. What have the Republicrats done about this wage disparity that is a cancer on the American workforce? The Republicrats can’t even pass the Equal Rights Amendment!Ĩ. We can only conclude she’s psychologically overcompensating for still making only 78 cents on the dollar in the male-dominated workplace of 2007 while also still having to fulfill the roles of homemaker, cook, chauffeur, nanny, and maid. But the truth is it shows that people want a new puppy in the kitchen, a puppy of progress and justice, a puppy that demands things like universal health insurance and the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, a puppy committed to breaking up this two-party elected dictatorship that is becoming more and more like a single golden funnel for the same corporate dollars.ħ. Shameful mainstream-media editorials will claim the puppy is a third-party “spoiler” who wants to confuse the populace and steal votes from the more “electable” little boy next to him, who’s been anointed by special-interest cabals and party elites. If the wall mirror were outfitted with safety bumpers-a proposal of mine disingenuously decried as “wrong-headed and economically punitive” by the Big Mirror PACs-we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.Ħ. Wall mirror is taller-thus containing more potential bad luck that will be unleashed on the hardworking men and women of America upon the mirror’s eventual breakage. But what do you expect with an administration that’s so brazenly in bed with the kitchen-table lobby? Who’s going to mandate safe, wobbleproof kitchen tables with four legs when the foxes are watching the henhouse?ĥ. ![]() What aren’t smaller are the mercilessly long hours, extraordinarily low wages, physical abuse, and other appalling human-rights violations that take place in the Indonesian sweatshop where these shoes were made.Ĥ.
