RIP Tom K. Ryan (1926-2019)

"Tumbleweeds" cartoonist passed away last Tuesday, aged 92.

His comic strip ran in hundreds of newspapers for more than 40 years, and launched the career of a young Jim Davis, who worked under Ryan as an assistant before creating "Garfield".

I'll be storytiming the first "Tumbleweeds" paperback, as well as bits and pieces from the other 19 in the series.

It's weird when you learn that people you assumed died decades ago turn out to have just died.

Thanks for the (sort of) storytime, user.

Even though we still hear about some celebrities dying relatively young, it's still somewhat good to see many of the legends live to such an old age.

...

Even though this might get lost in the multiple spam and rage threads know that some anons are reading this. Thanks

Hamhocker a cute

Thanks OP.

Thank you for your dilligence in honoring this legendary cartoonist, user. May he rest in peace.

Godspeed.

I had no idea who this guy was until I read this thread and experienced his work for the first time.

His art is wonderfully unique, thank you very much OP. I definitely want to learn more

Damn, didn't know he died. Thanks for doing this, OP.

Also F.

...

Rereading these I can see a lot of influence on Davis. Has Jim said anything publicly about working for/with Ryan?

I've only lived in the Southwest 20 years, don't know if I'm entitled to call myself that yet

I like these very much. Thanks for the sharing and my respects to the artist.
