Media: Jim Tyer Comic Books
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 2 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great posts about print cartoonists.
Jim Tyer was a one-of-a-kind. He animated for Van Beuren, Famous Studios, Terrytoons and Hal Seeger and drew and wrote funny animal comics. Once you've seen a really good Tyer drawing, you can never forget it. I'm going to let these examples tell you about him...
Thanks to Kent Butterworth for providing us with these great scans!

How does everyone think these stories have to do with the American idea of rags to riches.
Stephen, could you tell us what titles, issue numbers and dates these Tyer comics are? I'm especially curious to know what year the Heckle and Jeckle strip is from. Thanks.
I'll have to check next time I'm at the archive, but I think it's Terrytoons #9. Not sure of the date.
Steve
Thanks for the nice work all around!
