Feature Editor Of The Star

Have you ever wondered II
the cartoonists that draw
your favorite comics are as
funny as the characters
they've created? Or II the
artists behind such strips as
Juliet Jones" and "On
Stage" have wives as beau
tiful as their heroinesp In
short, what the creators Of
Americas leading comics are
really like2
The questions are oc-
casioned by the fact that the
theme of this years Inter-
national Newspaper Comics
Week, which began yester-
day. focuses attention on

Creators of the Comics"

among other things: Is Walt
Kelly as funny as Pogo?
Does Stan Drake draw Juliet
Jones and her pretty sister

"On Stage"2 Has the creator
of Kerry Drake" Alfred An
driola, ever been a detective?
Who is the 'Rupe" that
draws Freddy? And so on

Well, Walt Kelly is about
as amusing a character as
you're likely to meet in or
out Of the comics. The first
time he and his wife Stefany
visited my home, they showed
up two hours late. I'd warned
Walt against letting the taxi

comic extant, has been drawn
by Al Smith, whose life has
been like a Horatio Alger
story. Orphaned at 4, he be.
came a shoeshine boy for so
cents a week and then Q
butcher boy for 81. ga
When AL showed some of
his drawings to the New
York Sun, he was hired on
the spot-as q copy boy.
After about a year, he tried
the World, with the same
result. Eventually, however,
he originated a humorous
panel which the newspaper
agreed to syndicate.
When the World folded, al
found himself on the street,
"I'd about reached the end
Of my rope" he recalls,
when a syndicate asked me
to pinch-hit on a cartoon
whose artist was Ill. Later,
they called me in for the
same reason when Bud
Fisher, the creator of Mutt
and jeff, fell sick. Bud and I
became the closest Of friends
and I continued to work on
the strip" g
After Fishers death, the
syndicate asked AL to carry
on Mutt and Jeff under his
own signature. He also draws
the Sunday "Cicero's Cat"
AS for Rupe-he's so med
est and retiring that he pre-
fers to hide behind q boy
hood nickname. His name Is
Robert G. Baldwin, and he

Freddy was inspired by the
antics of one of the four

one.

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
The Middle Aoe
And Exercise
: BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Methodical exercise is for
idiots. Why do I say this?
I suppose the real reason is
that I am personally allergic
to unnecessary physical ex-
ertion. But there must be a
stronger base on which to
build such an opinion.
AS a doctor / mustn't let
personal opinions get mixed
UP with scientific opinion. I
feel medical opinion still
must prove to my satisfaction
that middle-aged people are
better off for engaging in
strenuous exercise to keep fit.
I keep saying it's all
right for growing boys and
girls but not for grown men
and women. If I had to
choose between exercise and
relaxation as a health-con-
ditioner for those past 40.
relaxation would win my vote
without hesitation.
One drink too many is
often the sum of only one
drink. ! say this because /
have known many persons
who couldn't hold liquor at
all. They became actually in
toxicated after two high
balls. II you didn't know

into taking only zone for the

hairdresser and teacher, I'll try to give
you some vOice-Of-cxperience advice.
A child's hair usually lacks the
body an adults has, and there's no good
way to put it in: Therefore the cut is
vital. The hair should be studied care
fully to discover the natural growth
pattern and to utilize any tendency to
wave. COwlicks can be understated by
parting directly into them from the
hairline. HyOu want part lower than
the cOwlick, part at an angle. Up to
about three, your child win have her
baby hair which is usually SO fine and
limp that it needs to be quite short.
Never permit your child's hair to
be thinned. Thinning reduces the body
IN the ends of the hair, usual y making
ii quite unmanageablc.
The hair style should be in the

proper scale for the child's face and
should not dominate the personality =
I'm talking particularly Of older chill
dren when say that. The hair should
be shaped every three to six weeks,
depending ON the rate Of growth. Wash
it frequently with mild shampoo. Fine
hair particularly tends to separate and
become stringy when sOiled.
HyOur girl has fine, soft hair, keep
it in short or semi-shOrt style - with
no thinning or taPering Except for the
pixie loOk). This kind Of hair often gets
matted or tangled when it's long and
becomes a nightmare for both mother
and child at brushing time.
If your child has coarse, porous,
curly hair, IT'S best to keep it quite
short, at least while she is small. This
kind Of hair should also be cut bluntly.
Evening star., 1963-05-05

1t is frequently dry and mild creme
rinse may be used after shampOOing to
make the hair more manageable.
If your child has hair that is ex-
cellent in texture and easy to manage,
your problems are few. You can choose
almost any style you like. ] like this
kind Of hair worn long, brushed back
and down like Alice in Wonderland, or,
in warm weather, brushed upward,
fastened with a clip. and with the
ends either tucked in or worn soft
and loose.
POnytails are nice but il is q
medical fact that q tight one, bound
with thin rubber bands, can damage
the hair. Clips are better.
Keep the style quite simple and,
above all, easy to care for - for your
sake and your little girls.
