   No one draws like Pat Oliphant. He’s amazing.

   …second Ann’s comment!

   He is a one of a kind. He has influenced legions of admirers over the years… and none have matched his mastery.

5. Pete McDonnell

   He’s brilliant, one of the great cartoonists. Everybody doing editorial cartoons today owes him a debt.

   I could watch Oliphant draw all day. What skill! Another cartoonist I could watch draw all day would be Walt Kelly, especially when he fit four complete characters in an action shot in ONE panel.

   To Ann Telnaes: not many can draw as well as you do, either. Also thoroughly enjoy the animation and enjoy watching a video of it on the Post site.

   Thank you; I really appreciate your kinds words. I have been feeling the need to get back to those invaluable life drawing classes again, especially after seeing Oliphant’s drawings. Kal’s right, though- Oliphant is a master. No one comes close.

   “No one draws like Oliphant” There’s some French guy
   named Honore Daumier who kinda did. Sculpted like Oliphant
   too.

   I had seen this footage before on another program. But never
   get tired of it. Didn’t see an editor around. Does he keep
   them in a closet in his studio?

    There’s two levels of cartooning….Oliphant is one and the other is everybody else.
