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

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

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.
