Description

Budding cartoonists and incurable doodlers take note: From the front cover: "This amazing FUNograph record and cartoon course supplies countless hours of amusement for kids from six to sixty! Anyone capable of writing his name can learn to draw more than a thousand faces." This 1946 record by Art Ross (on the Funnyface Records, Inc. label, out of Forest Hills, NY) and the accompanying instructional charts will show you how!


I happened to notice the name Louis Neistat which just so happens to be wonderful comic and dramatic actor Louis Nye's real name! He would've been doing radio programs in New York at the time that this disc was recorded. Hearing it and visualizing Mr. Nye reading the script put a whole new slant on it for me, as he seems to not be taking the whole thing 100% seriously. Louis had already changed his name to Nye by 1946.


Not much is out there about Art Ross by he was an active cartoonist starting in the 1930s.
