Famous Cartoonist Button 29
Peter Loft contributed memorable
stories and strips to Snarf, Bizarre Sex, Smile,
Consumer Comix, Comix Book, Bizarre Sex
and other underground comix, as well as covers and strips for
the midwest underground newspaper, The Bugle. Frogs were
a frequent component in his strips and covers, and are relected
in his whimsical self-portrait.
With charming characters such as Vincent the Teabag and Flooty
the Turtle, Loft would no doubt have had a very successful career
as a cartoonist but before peaking he moved to Europe and changed
careers, becoming involved in the computer industry.
About the Buttons:
Pinback Jack issued
this "Famous Cartoonist Series" of self-portrait buttons
back in 1975. All of the participating cartoonists were
alive and created self-portraits specifically for this button
set. With very few exceptions, the images have not appeared elsewhere
in print. The buttons were distributed by Krupp Comic Works
and Phil Seuling. This set was originally announced as
52 buttons, and the alphabetical numbering reflects
that. However, two artists (Neal Adams and Rick Meyerowitz)
turned in their self-portraits late, after the first 52 had already
been designed. They were included in the set, but numbered 53
and 54 respectively, out of alphabetical sequence. Steve Krupp's
Curio Shoppe is now the exclusive source of the remaining limited
inventory.
All the color buttons in this set are metal
with clear celluloid covers, are 2.25 inches in diameter, and
have "safety" pinbacks. This button is listed for sale
as an individual, but we do offer the complete set as well.
