JIM Unger [Vedio Here]
Jim Unger, creator of the very popular comic panel "Herman" was not only brilliant but a guy willing to go the extra mile for his fans.
Many years ago I wrote Mr. Unger to express my great pleasure in reading his comic feature. I could always count on getting a chuckle and often a big laugh out of his zany sense of humor. He, in turn, was very kind to send me an ori
ginal "Herman" which I now proudly display on my studio wall. It cost him over $3.00 to mail it to me as he was, at the time, living in the Bahamas and I'm in the United States. I've never forgotten that kindness and in return I sought out as many "Herman" collections as I could find.
.
I don't know how many cartoonists would have done that for someone they didn't know. But Jim Unger did. (Cathy Guisewite, creator of 'Cathy' actually took the time to make a drawing of her character for me.)
Unger's work influenced many strips with a weird zaniest about them, such as Gary Larson's 'The Far Side' (who never did respond to my letter!!) and many, many more, including my own work.
