Newspaper Comic Strips

Comic strips have been popular with Americans from the early 1900s. When we think of comic strips today, most of us focus on the Sunday funnies because they're printed in color. But the artform dates back much further to daily newspapers and monthly magazines. Comics were so popular in the 1930's and 40's, that when there was a newspaper strike in New York in 1945, then-Mayor Fiorello La Guardia took to reading them on the radio. Many comic strip characters like Betty Boop and Flash Gordon were so popular that they were featured in cartoons and movies. We hope you enjoy these examples of classic comic strip art that we offer for sale.

New Animation Art

I've been working hard lately to refresh the images on our site. The work is long overdue, but the good news is that it's given me the chance to photograph a lot of art that we've never shown online before. Much of it for under $10.00! The new pages are:

You'll continue to see better images over the coming weeks, so if you can't get a good look now, please visit again soon!


Who Was The Voice?

Most Disney fans have a favorite character, and one of the things that makes each character special is the voice that is usually provided by a celbrity actor or actress. I've just created a special section of our site for our featured Voice Actor Autographs where we take the autograph of the voice actor and match it with some attractive art to create unique collectibles. In addition, each movie's page has a list of the main characters and the names of the actors who gave them their voice. Who Dat? Follow the link and find out!
