Senior Strippers
Skip to comments
Happy Birthday Joe Giella, born June 27, 1928!
Joe becomes the latest creator to join the Senior Strippers list. A list of cartoonists who for 90+ years continue to survive “the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.”
Below is, as best as I can determine, a list of cartoonists who continue to carry on past 90 years. Celebrating the addition of Joe Giella to the list and mourning the removal of Bill Lignante. Taking special joy that some (Joe Giella, Joe Sinnott, Al Jaffee, Hy Eisman, and others) continue an active career.
