Synopsis
Excerpt from Drawn From Memory: Containing Many of the Author's Famous Cartoons and Sketches
John mccutcheon could remember me when I wasn't much more than a wide grin. He had, therefore, the advantage of me, because my first clear memory of him is on a June week end in 1902 when I hung over his shoulder while he drew pictures of me in assorted attitudes and riding on various animals. I was growing rather lanky by that time and he did not fail to record the fact.
Whenever he was a guest at my parents' table, at Ragdale, I crept part-way down the stairs in my nightgown to peek into the dining room where I could watch him happily.
Sometimes the whole family sat by the fire while he told tale after tale of his adventures. Especially I liked the one about the Sultan of Sulu.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a captivating journey through the life of a man who rose to become a renowned cartoonist, beginning with his humble beginnings in rural Indiana. The author shares a nostalgic look at his childhood, growing up in a time marked by the remnants of the Civil War and the westward expansion, imbued with a blend of Indian lore, local legends, and his family's strong ties to the land. The reader is immersed in vivid accounts of his early adventures, from driving hogs with his father to exploring the woods for buried treasure, all of which helped to shape his unique perspective and artistic sensibility. These experiences, brimming with humor and adventure, ultimately provided the foundation for the author's later work as a cartoonist, where he would draw upon his own memories and observations of the human condition to create a distinct body of work.
