Betsy And Me TP

Description

"Having mastered comic books (PLASTIC MAN) and gag cartoons (PLAYBOY), Jack Cole set his sights on the cartoonist's pot of gold--a syndicated newspaper strip. He hit the bulls eye in 1958 with BETSY AND ME, a breezy domestic farce focusing on a middle class urban couple and their smart-aleck genius son.

For BETSY AND ME, featuring Chet Tibbit's day-to-day struggles and achievements, Cole stripped his style down to its bare essentials, creating a strip that sparkles with economy, wit, and charm. Then, with only two-and-a-half months of comics completed, Cole purchased a .22 caliber pistol and ended his life.

BETSY AND ME, which collects the entire run of the strip, is the last work of a cartooning genius."
