There is a lot of stuff on CAF that isn’t comics art - but it doesn’t matter.
And I guess this list can be as liberal as it wants to in its subject matter -
hence you can ask about something to do with Petty…..

George,
All examples of comic art. Gag cartoons are comics. As are editorial
cartoons.
Also: all published.
Defining “what is a comic?” is a debate that’s been going on since before
more than a few of us were born.
That’s not really my point though. Again, I’m in no way presuming to dictate
what people should like or collect. But I think most of us, like the famous
bit about pornography, know comics art when we see it.
And there’s a lot of stuff on CAF that isn’t comics art, no matter how
liberal your taxonomy.

PS I’d love to read that Marston-on-Petty material.

Yeah a lot of Vargas pinups had tag lines and were essentially panel
cartoons! As is my Orson Lowell lesbian wedding illustration which is a

`Well the Sistine Chapel art definitely tells a story (although last time i
was there, they tried to stop me even taking a photo inside, never mind
running off with the originals…..) - likewise the Bayeaux Tapestry, etc….
I guess we all know what comics are, really, but I believe the important
thing is not to worry too much about the definitions and just enjoy looking
at it. I never quite figured the ticking-the-extra-box bit, I’ll have to
start doing that for illustration. i have recently acquired a couple of
Vargas pieces, for example, which i presume could go into both but if i
decided to put them on line, i’d use CAF.

The Sistine Chapel as continuity art......or any of those other wacky
Italian murals in Venice- those folks often tattooed their pubic buildings.
But then Goya is often credited as doing early comics - where editorial and
panel cartoons fit in has always been one of those academic arguments

I think it’s perfectly ok to put any sorta-related art on CAF. Everyone can
choose what to look at. I mean, it’s up the Bill in the end and the ‘rules’
for Caf and the ‘rules’ for this list (do we even have any since we moved
service? Alex is the king of that question!) aren’t the same thing. But
whereas I know some collectors/list-members might see only published comic
book art as ‘viable’, many, I’d say most, have less tight boundaries and are
happy with sketches, commissions, illustration art, book covers….hell, if
someone here bought a Rembrandt or part of the Sistine Chapel, and wanted to
put that up, I’d be happy to look….

Is it officially cool to have an illustration section of your CAF now? I
missed that. I don’t have a ton, but am happy to put up what little I have.
On this specific topic. Cool piece Ray!

Besides Illustration is now a component of CAF including a lot of work by
illustrators who did not work in comics (and while there is a lot of
crossover there are also many who worked solely in illustration.) George

Hi Mark:
James Martin worked with Neal Adams at Continuity Studios. So unless all
art by comic artists that was not done for a comic book is barred, this is
art by a comic book artist.
Best wishes!

James Martin - Susanne 1967
On December 21st I contacted James and sent along photo reference for this
possible commission. James responded positively and enthusiastically right
away: "Absolutely! Could do something really special with that! May get to
this one sooner than later! ;)" By December 31st the commission was
completed and it was mailed right after the New Year's holiday, arriving
here January 13th.
This lovely commission is 11" x 14".

I have two other pieces by James which are in that same Gallery which folks
may wish to check out. Comments are most welcome!
