Bat Boughner III is the grandson of Golden Age Comic Book artist Howard Boughner. Howard Boughner was the talent behind such creations as Mac, Peter and Polly in Toyland, Hold Everything as well as Penny and Dolly Dripple. In addition, he was the author of the how-to guides ‘Cartooning Jobs for Beginning Cartoonists’ and ‘Dictionary of things to Draw,’ both of which were influential for generations of future illustrators. Bat has a unique and very personal appreciation for Howard’s talents, and he’s graciously offered to share them on this episode of Hungry Trilobyte. Bat and I discuss Howard’s place in comic history, the mini strips in Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel issues, his notable humility, and what he might think of today’s comic industry and fandom. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky, Twitter, Hive, or Instagram - @AaronBossig
