More Cartoonists. Christopher Wheeler's database of cartoonists. Fab: Click on any cartoonist to see some of his or her volumes of cartoons and related ephemera. Almost all books shown are currently in my collection. Via the great paperholic. An autograph and a drawing by Sempé - now how cool is that? I think this is megacool. 6:21:05 PM   Art & Advertising | |

Fantastic. The Ackerman Pump Pen was in the post on Monday and it's great, although it took me almost a whole day getting used to it, and my fingers are still stained with ink. But once it works, it works; it's a great product. I went for the dip nib version; the fountain nib is probably much easier to use. 10:38:33 AM   Designer's Tools | |
