Hiawatta illustrated poem by Milt Gross

Picture 1-6If you enjoy cartoons and illustrations from the fist half of the 20th Century, I highly recommend subscribing to Shane Gline's Cartoon Retro. For $5 a month (using PayPal to subscribe) you not only get hundreds of pages of out-of-print cartoon treasures by the masters of the genre, you also get to ogle scans from Shane Glines' fantastic personal sketchbook.

This week, Shane posted a four-page Milt Gross cartoon from the 1930s, called "Hiawatta," and the art and words are terrifically charming. No wonder Gross is considered by many of today's best cartoonists to be the king of cartoons. Here are the first two pages of the strip.
