Don T Shoot It S Only Me

Please Don't Shoot Me!

Winsor McCay

"This book is the second of the Checker Book Publishing Group's collections of McCay's harder-to-find accomplish mets in newspaper strip and editorial cartooning, newspaper illustration and animation stills. It includes much of his earliest newspaper work for the Cincinnati Enquirer and a great deal of strip cartooning he did for the New York Herald and Evening Telegram prior to commencing his signature work, Little Nemo in Slumberland. A sampling of animation stills from his feature, The Centaurs, rounds out a diverse package. McCay's pioneering manipulation of the comic art form in its infancy combined with his unorthodox subject matter (including a fascination with dreams and nightmares), were responsible for the extreme popularity of his work during his lifetime and its enduring appeal and influence on emerging generations of cartoonists and illustrators."--Back cover
