THE Book Cover



Here is the actual finished cover.  The 6x9 softback has a color laminated cover.  The interior has 107 pages of black and white cartoons.   The book also includes an interesting 600 word Foreward/Bio.   Almost all are rejected cartoons that went on to sell to the nation's major magazines like Reader's Digest, Barron's, The Wall Street Journal, Medical Economics, Harvard Business Review, The Saturday Evening Post and many others in the United States and the U.K.

I believe the comment had got so much attention was because I was working on getting it inserted in The Guinness Book of World Records, as The Most Rejected Cartoonist in the World.   Unfortunately, it was hard to document and as Mike noted, the fact that many of the cartoons went on to sell, the insertion would have been misleading, so the project was dropped. The fact that it was seriously considered, I think was interesting.
