Mark Bryant. Profession: cartoon historian.
Yes they exist: cartoon historians. Thanks to their work and research we are able to consult reference works about cartoons and we can look at history in a different context: looking at history through cartoons and caricature.
A few weeks ago I bought another excellent book by Mark Bryant: World War II in Cartoons. And some other books of him are on my wish list. I'll mail to Santa Claus asking him if he wants to bring me some of the books in the list below.
Dr Mark Bryant was bom in Dorset, is a philosophy graduate of London University and has a PhD in history from the University of Kent. After more than a decade in literary and academic book publishing he turned freelance in 1987, working as an editor, writer, journalist. lecturer and exhibition curator. Honorary Secretary of the British Cartoonists Association for nine years, he is a former director of the London Press Club (of which he was Secretary for eight years). He has organised cartoon exhibitions, given lectures on the history of cartoons and served on the jury of international cartoon competitions in the UK, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nepal, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, Yugoslavia and elsewhere and is the author of several books. He has also edited/compiled more than 30 short-story and cartoon collections (amongst other books), including MAC’s Year (since 1990), 25 Years of MAC,The Complete Colonel Blimp, Vicky’s Supermac, H. M. Bateman, Nicolas Bentley and The Comic Cruikshank. He lives in London.

Quirit en France
"is there someone on board who knows about
Microsoft Flight simulators?"
Jean-Marie let me know that in the French area of his website, Quirit says he has not published a book in France. Quirit has not updated this section of his site because he has in fact published two books in France:
- Thirty twelfth aspect (Glénat, 2002)
- Homo Erectus (Glénat, 2004)

We present Pol Leurs third cartoon book... and stamp
Pol Leurs (LU) sent me his new third cartoon book that was recently published in Luxemburg. I was surprised by the stamp that was on the post package: a cartoon stamp designed by... Pol Leurs. I think that many cartoonists would like to see one of their cartoons on a stamp. Cartoon stamps are rare and only successful cartoonists get their stamp.
the envelope...
the stamp cartoon
Pol won many cartoon awards and his third book contains about 50 new top quality gag cartoons.
This is the work of a master in gag cartooning.
Pol writes on the back cover "J'espère que ce qui se trouve entre ces deux cartons vous a fait passer, respectivement va vous faire passer des moments agréables", translated: I hope that what you find between this two hard covers, has given you, respectively, will make you have pleasant moments. It did indeed! I enjoyed the book.
Obama as seen by Pol Leurs
I you like to see some other nice work of Pol Leurs or if you want to buy the book, please visit Pols website and contact Pol: www.poleurs.lu
