Calendar of Events Back to Top Arnold Roth: Free Lance February 15 - May 17, 2002 The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library More Info Presentation by Arnold Roth March 17, 2002, 2:30pm Wexner Center Film/Video Theatre More Info For other University events, see OSU Electronic Calendars University News Releases onCampus University Research News Announcements Back to Top Roth Exhibit Coming to OSU In the world of cartooning, Arnold Roth has done it all. He has drawn magazine cartoons, humorous illustrations, syndicated comic strips, political cartoons, sports cartoons, record album jackets, book jackets, book illustrations, cartoon advertisements, and animation. He has also managed to support himself as a freelance cartoonist for half a century--no small accomplishment in an ever-changing and exceedingly competitive field--and this fact is evidence of the consistent high quality of his work. Arnold Roth: Free Lance documents the entire range of Arnold Roth's remarkable career through more than sixty original works from his private collection. Arnold Roth's freelance career began in 1951. Charm, TV Guide and Esquire were the first national magazines to commission his work. Early assignments included Holiday magazine; record covers, mostly for jazz musicians such as Dave Brubeck; and creating advertising "idea bank" storyboards and animations for John Hubley's company Storyboard, Inc., along with Gene Dietch, Crockett Johnson and R. O. Blechman. In 1956 he joined Harvey Kurtzman, the creator of MAD Magazine, and some of the cartoonists who contributed to that publication, to write and draw for Trump with the peerless Kurtzman as editor. The magazine folded before the first issue hit the newsstands due to catastrophic upheavals in the magazine http://library.osu.edu/sites/staff/Newsnotes/nn011502.html (2 of 8) [7/30/2007 2:16:03 PM] Ohio State University Libraries: NEWS NOTES Online world. Roth then joined Kurtzman, Alan Jaffee, Jack Davis and Will Elder as creators and co-owners of Humbug. He moved on to Help, a monthly, edited by the ubiquitous Harvey Kurtzman who was assisted by Terry Gilliam and Gloria Steinem. In 1959 he created a color Sunday comic strip for the New York Herald Tribune Syndicate titled "Poor Arnold's Almanac." The feature lasted until 1961 It was revived in 1989-1990 for Creator's Syndicate as a daily and Sunday feature. Roth's longest association with a single foreign publication started in 1958 when his work began to be published in Punch. In 1965 he replaced P. G. Wodehouse, who was retiring at the age of ninety from doing the "Report on America." Roth was honored in 1986 by being invited to become a member of the Punch Table, and he carved his initials into the famous dining table where they joined those of illustrious artists from Sir John Tenniel, John Leech, George du Maurier and Phil May to Leslie Illingworth, Michael Ffolkes, and Ronald Searle. The list of publications in which Arnold Roth's work has appeared or is currently published is astonishing: American Health, Archeology, Audubon, Charm, Chicago, City Journal, Connoisseur, Esquire, Food and Wine, Forbes, Fortune, GQ, Harper's, Holiday, Horizon, Humbug, Industry Week, Inside Sports, Lamp, Life, Look, Modern Maturity, Money, Mother Jones, The Nation, National Lampoon, New England, New Woman, New York, New York Daily News, New York Post, New York Times, The New Yorker, Newsweek, Parenting, Pennsylvania Gazette, People, Playboy, Premier, The Progressive, Psychology Today, Punch, Rolling Stone, Saturday Evening Post, Smithsonian, Smoke, Sports Illustrated, Sports Travel, Town and Country, Time, Trump, TV Guide, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, West, Working Woman, and many more. At present he serves as art director of (and contributor to) the Journal for Blacks in Higher Education. Roth has been very active in his profession as a member of the National Cartoonists Society (serving as its president in 1984-1986), the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, and the Society of Illustrators. He lectured at the Philadelphia College of Art, School of Visual Arts, Pratt Institute, Cooper Union, Parsons School, Princeton University, Ohio State University, University of Pennsylvania, Thurber House, National Art Museum, Yale University, Syracuse University, University of the Arts, and the International Museum of Cartoon Art. He has had one-man shows at the University of the Arts and The Print Club. His work is in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rosenbach Collection, the International Museum of Cartoon Art, the Cartoon Art Museum, and the Karicature & Cartoon Museum in Basel, Switzerland. His peers have recognized his art through numerous awards, including the Reuben Award as Cartoonist of the Year from the National Cartoonists Society in 1984. A gregarious and quick-witted conversationalist, Roth has appeared on numerous television programs including the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, the David Letterman Show, and the Joan Rivers Show. His artistry with the saxophone equals his skills with a brush, and he has played in a variety of New York jazz venues for more than forty years. Roth's hometown loyalty continues in his affection for the Phillies. The Phillies, as always, remain passive. Arnold Roth: Free Lance opened in Philadelphia at University of the Arts in September 2001. In addition to The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library, other scheduled venues are Society of Illustrators Gallery in New York City and the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. The exhibition will also travel to London where it will be shown at the National Museum of Cartoon Art, after which it will go to the Karicatur & Cartoon Museum in Basel, Switzerland. Lucy Shelton Caswell, Professor and Curator of The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library, curated the exhibit, organized the tour, and edited the catalogue, which is published by Fantagraphics (ISBN 1-56097-438-9). Arnold Roth: Free Lance is co-sponsored by The Ohio State University Libraries, Friends of the Libraries, and Wexner Center for the Arts. http://library.osu.edu/sites/staff/Newsnotes/nn011502.html (3 of 8) [7/30/2007 2:16:03 PM] Ohio State University Libraries: NEWS NOTES Online For More Information e-mail [email protected] or telephone 614-292-0538.

Return of the Spot Bonus Award http://library.osu.edu/sites/staff/Newsnotes/nn011502.html (4 of 8) [7/30/2007 2:16:03 PM] Ohio State University Libraries: NEWS NOTES Online Maria van Boekel, Circulation Supervisor in the Fine Arts Library, has earned a spot bonus award for her outstanding work. Last July, Maria set an ambitious goal of hiring eight work-study students for FIN this academic year. Work-study students are scarce, but Maria achieved this goal, and in doing so, generated additional funds. Since each student has a $4,000 grant, Maria's success translates into $32,000 of federal money coming into University Libraries to cover wages. Maria's success is tied to a detailed strategy. She networked with other circulation supervisors and Human Resources to learn the specific details of hiring work-study students. She set up her own campus-wide ad campaign, including regional campuses, to recruit work-study students. She re-wrote job descriptions to reflect work-study duties in FIN, thereby raising the pay scale. She even wrote an appeal to the work-study office and was able to reinstate work-study for a highly trained student employee who had lost her work- study grant. Her colleagues note that, "Maria, in her quiet and modest manner, brilliantly succeeded at a task we all struggle with this year. She exemplifies the fiscally creative employee we want to foster." While she offers to assist her co-workers by sharing her successful techniques, she also inspires others to think of ways to save or find additional dollars for University Libraries. The Libraries Spot Bonus Initiative recognizes and celebrates the extraordinary deeds that further the mission of the Libraries "to be a world-class library system by providing outstanding resources and services." These http://library.osu.edu/sites/staff/Newsnotes/nn011502.html (5 of 8) [7/30/2007 2:16:03 PM] Ohio State University Libraries: NEWS NOTES Online bonuses foster a culture that values meritorious contributions of staff.

On The Illustrated Winespeak's first publication inthis hilarious send-up of winetaster's jargon was hailed by 'The Financial Times' as "one of this year's bubbling successes". It has since been constantly reprinted to meet demand and has become a classic of The Illustrated Winespeak kind. For all those mystified by the strange pontifications of wine-buffs, Ronald Searle's The Illustrated Winespeak is the perfect guide to the meaning behind "distinctive nose", "full bodied" and "elegant but lacks backbone". The book is an onslaught on the pretentious nonsense written and spoken about wine. His interpretations of such apparently innocent phrases as 'full bodied' and 'distinctive nose' The Illustrated Winespeak certainly make you laugh aloud, and in all probability splutter in your wine glass.
