Latest Addition To The Spill Archive: A Stack Of Cartoonist PROfiles.

Spill visitors continue to be incredibly generous. The latest gift to the archives is this large stack of Jud Hurd’s terrif Cartoonist PROfiles.

The Spill archive had just a handful of these until the other day. Many of the issues contain articles (yes, profiles) by Mr. Hurd on New Yorker cartoonists that can’t be found anywhere else.

Of particular interest to me in this gift stack is the Complete 30-Year Index. There’s almost nothing more helpful (in the research bubble) than an excellent index.
