Belch Tower
Copyright 1971, 2006 J. LeMaire

 

The Muhlenberg Lirary's bell tower is the architectural symbol of the school. This was one of my first cartoons published and was one of just a few without an overt political message. As such, it was one of the best-received.

The cartoon's style was heavily influenced by Jules Pfeiffer. One thing I liked about his style was his elimination of the panel outline. I would experiment in quite a few cartoons with breaking down the panel or melting it.
