“Sherm” Comics by Bud Sagendorf

Bud Sagendorf is one of my favorite cartoonists, so imagine my joyful surprise to find these backup stories featuring a kid character named “Sherm.” 

These comics appeared as back-up stories in the Dell Popeye comic books of the early 1950’s

I featured these scans in a series of posts a few months ago, but here they are in one big batch for your enjoyment! Just click on any of the images or titles below to jump to that story.

In the early 1930's Bud Sagendorf was a teenage assistant to original Popeye cartoonist E.C. Segar on his Thimble Theatre and Sappo comic strips. After Segar's death in 1938, Sagendorf illustrated marketing materials for King Features, eventually moving on to creating Popeye comic books starting in 1945.

Bud Sagendorf also wrote and illustrated (anonymously) much of the material in the Famous Artists Cartooning Course , especially Lesson 15 on Props and Backgrounds (See above sample)
