Perfect Nonsense George Carlson HC

Perfect Nonsense tells the story of one of the most innovative and under-rated Golden Age artists, children's illustrator and nonsense poets in American history. For more than 50 years, George Carlson created distinctive cartoons, comics, riddles, and games that thrilled both children and adults with their fanciful spirit and nonsensical humor. Until now there had never been a career retrospective of this startling creator and this book will astonish cartoon and comics aficionados, teachers of children's media, scholars of American humor, and anyone interested in the ever-evolving landscapes of image and language.
