Over the years, Lois illustrated every letter she sent to Sue with a cartoon of Bozo. Sue loved the antics of the scrappy dog so much that she clipped each of the drawings from the letters, pasting them first into a sketchbook – already illustrated with Bozo cartoons – Lois had given her as a gift, and later into a larger photo-album/scrapbook. Most of Pullen's Bozo vignettes are essentially single-panel cartoons, endearing and warm if not laugh-out-loud funny, but the artist has a fine eye for character and detail as well as fine a gift for quickly capturing a moment with a line or two of accompanying text. A few multi-panel pieces and an accordion-style fold-out book are also among the illustrations. A treasury of a friendship which spanned over four decades, a wonderful example of folk cartooning, and a reminder of the quickly (and sadly) fading art of letter writing.
[np]: [nd; ca. 1950-1985]. First volume: 6" x 9" spiral- bound sketchbook with numerous scrapbook elements. Front cover detached, but present. Else very good. Second volume: 11" x 11 1/2" green photo-album/scrapbook. Generally fine.
