I haven't seen the frustrations of designers summed up so amusingly before.
"Comics will break your heart"

Over the past year I've spent a lot more time reading and studying comic books and cartooning. The history has been far more interesting than I ever expected.
Percy Crosby creates the Skippy cartoon in 1923 and builds it up into a $3 million business by 1932. He goes after FDR and the New Deal for being communist. Then his woes begin.
By 1964 he's dead in an insane asylum after a war with the IRS and their alleged corporate proxy, the Rosefield Packing Company. The Rosefield Packing Company takes the Skippy name and creates Skippy peanut butter.
