Fired from Disney in retaliation for striking were, among others, (the legendarily evil) Hank Ketcham, Walt Kelly, Preston Blair, and Phil Eastman.

Who you definitely know, even if you think you don't.

Who's the worst cartoon character?

I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics.

It's gonna take a thread.

Yeah, Ketcham sucked, but Toole & Wiseman created some great comic books.

"Say no to turtles! Say yes to drawing mean caricatures of your neurodivergent son!" - Hank Ketcham, probably.

“Half Hitch” (credited to Hank Ketcham but drawn by Dick Hodgins) first appeared on February 16, 1970. (Ketcham drew Half Hitch for magazines in the 1940s and revived it as a daily strip, hoping to capitalize on Beetle Bailey’s popularity.) Here are the first four strips:

Fun fact! Hank Ketcham actually crossed the picket line to support Disney against the artists during the strike!

The Dennis the Menace comic strip by Hank Ketcham debuted on March 12, 1951. It would be adapted into a popular sitcom only eight years later, and eventually cartoons & films. He was also Dairy Queen’s official mascot from 1971 to 2001.

I'm currently reading "This Land" by Christopher Ketcham, and the major takeaway is that the symbol of the rugged, individualistic frontiersman of the west is just a front for coddling state-subsidy-dependent crybabies having a permanent tantrum.

Hank's public response to his son's suffering was "these things happen."

There's so much crap that Hank Ketcham did that Behind The Bastards did a two part deep dive that's longer than they spent on some nazis.

But suffice to say, bro sucks.

“Wokeness went too far.” - Hank Ketcham
JFC. I’d never seen this before. And Hank Ketcham wrote some bullshit later saying he didn’t see the big deal and he guessed only Sammy Davis Jr was allowed to be funny????
