Found this on Boing Boing: “Cory Doctorow: From Charlie, this 1933 scanned article from Modern Mechanix discussing all of the then-successful comic artists, how they got their start, and how comics are made and distributed. Includes Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Buck Rogers, Mutt & Jeff, Mickey Mouse, Popeye, Rube Goldberg and a lot more. ‘The ‘funnies’ you read every day bring $8,000,000 a year to a small group of 200 cartoonists’. How they rose to the top and how you can enter their select circle is told here by leading comic artists…” Good stuff! Here is the link.
