It was the long-running division that he perceived within the CCGB - regarding computers versus brush and ink - that even- tually led to his resignation. In his own personal view, it seemed that the interests of the traditional members were be- coming secondary to those who were not computer-literate. To those of us who knew him and had enormous respect for him, he will be sadly missed.

5 THE JESTER ISSUE 411 –JULY 2008 CCGB ONLINE: WWW.CCGB.ORG.UK The Art of Dr. Seuss

A new FREE exhibition at Croy- don Clocktower, opened on 28th June and runs until 20th Sep- tember. Dr. Seuss has been delighting children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years with his unique combination of hilari- ous stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes. However, few of us are aware of the !secret art" that he rarely exhibited during his lifetime. Featuring an incredible range of prints, poetry, advertisements, cartoons, magazine cover de- signs and !unorthodox taxi- dermy" sculpture, this exhibition offers a rare insight into the pri- vate work of Dr. Seuss. For more information, go to www.croydonclocktower.org.uk

Cartoons in the news this month spotted by John “Speedy” Harrison include:

Right: The cartoon origins of the word “Heebie-jeebies” Above: TV and Film Memo- prabilia Magazine included a three page tribute to artist Walt Howarth. The Montacute TV Radio & Toy Museum in South Street, Montacute, Somerset is running an exhi- bition of his work from 2nd July until 28th September.

Everyone agrees there are fewer cartoons in the news- papers these days.

This selection comes from the Guardian on Saturday 21st June. How good are they? I!ll leave that to you to decide! Steve Willis
