The thick and thin Linework in those UPA styled Noveltoons are of the exact same even width and in that case it destroys the form of the models in those shorts. Here in this gene fawcett cartoon the bold thick and thin linework is much more natural and varied and doesn't destroy the form of the characters.<br /><br />And i Think gene fawcett is also the guy who did those awesome eye candy supermouse covers that makes Milt stein Sloppy by comparision. No Offense or hard feelings to those who are fans of stein and yes i will agree in it's own sole right that Milton stein's art is great.<br /><br />Big AppleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-77645091224584224362011-09-18T17:03:29.810-04:002011-09-18T17:03:29.810-04:00Gene Fawcett was a Legend, His Drawing Angular sty...Gene Fawcett was a Legend, His Drawing Angular style is Actually The Drawing style of Al eugster's 50s Amateur UPA Style Noveltoons (News Hound, Sir Irving and Jeames and my once favorite of those, Jolly the Clown to name a few) done the real way and in it's only form ever IMHO!, The Drawings are Abouslutley Gorgeous and stupendous, a real treasure.<br /><br />Big Apple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-88161991533446016112011-04-04T15:18:14.729-04:002011-04-04T15:18:14.729-04:00Gabe: I tend agree with nib over brush in this cas...Gabe: I tend agree with nib over brush in this case, too, which makes the artwork even more interesting to me. Something in the angularity of the work - the rapid thin to very thick - I can almost feel the artist's hand pressing down on that flexible nib, spreading them just right. <br /><br />Virtually noting exists on Fawcette of any detail, so I guess we'll never know for sure (crap – I just noticed I have been misspelling Fawcette’s name throughout these comments. I had when I do that. The name has an “e” on the end). I completely agree with your WOW assessment, Gabe!Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-90783128658322200302011-04-04T14:26:39.077-04:002011-04-04T14:26:39.077-04:00A late comment I know, but this guy deserves all t...A late comment I know, but this guy deserves all the praisess as possible.

I'm probably wrong, but it looks like an old Waterman Artist's nib or #52 nib. Regardless,...it's BEAUTIFUL! I loved the Custer Story and art! Makes me wonder why these characters never took off!
