Basil Wolverton, the father of the "spaghetti and meatball school of design" and one of the most beloved cartoonists of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, began practicing his craft at an early age. He sold his first cartoon, to the American Humor magazine, in 1926, while attending Vancouver High School, in Vancouver, Washington. This interesting lot includes two softbound High School yearbooks from VHS, one from 1926, when Wolverton was Upper Junior Class President, and from Wolverton's senior year, 1927. Both books have been signed by Wolverton, and a wonderful added doodle in blue ink of a wrinkled-nosed dog accompanies Mr. Wolverton's photo in the '27 book. Both yearbooks show some wear on the covers, but are intact with nice interior paper quality, and are both in Very Good condition overall. As a bonus, a clipped Li'l Abner strip from 1946 is included -- the famous "Lena the Hyena" contest-winning drawing from Wolverton, which made him a household name overnight!<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
