Otto Soglow (w & a

A BIG BOOK FOR A LITTLE
KING! A long-overdue examination of the unique pantomime cartoons of Otto
Soglow, who entertained millions for more than fifty years and whose influence
remains current in the works of Chris Ware, Daniel Clowes, Ivan Brunetti, and
others. This compendium features hundreds of pages of Soglow's most famous
creation, The Little King–plus copious examples of his other work and a
fascinating account by Jared Gardner of Soglow's long career that ranged from
the socialist magazines of the 1920s to his long association with The New
Yorker, which continues to use Soglow's art thirty-five years after his death.
Soglow began experimenting
with eliminating lines that weren't necessary while at The New Yorker, where he
created The Little King in 1931. Lured by William Randolph Hearst, Soglow moved
to the Sunday comic’s section with The Ambassador until his contract with The
New Yorker ended in 1934. The Ambassador led the way–in more ways than one–for
the King, who remained a Sunday funnies mainstay until Soglow's death in 1975.
Much of the humor in The
Little King is aimed at puncturing pomposity, and Soglow accomplishes it with
drawings that are, as Brunetti points out, tightly composed, exquisitely timed,
carefully structured pieces of machinery.
Otto Soglow's process of
streamlining is at the root of why his cartoons have a timeless sophistication
and elegance, and continue to entice new readers and cartoonists. It's high
time for such a fitting tribute to this cartoon monarch.
