George Price

George Price is probably my favorite New Yorker cartoonist that I've seen so far. There's so much energy in his drawing style that appeals to me as an animator. Totally reminds me of Hirschfeld as well. I'd imagine this is what Hirschfeld would look like angry or in a rush. Fantastic stuff. These were scanned from an old New Yorker anthology and are all from the 1930s onward. My eye is immediately drawn to his strips no matter what else is on the page.

From the 50s on George's style would degenerate more and more. The designs would become cluttered, the compositions unclear, and the style would become completely angular. If that wasn't enough, his characters lost all their "life" and expression with his new way of drawing eyes. They would all look like crazies.
