Cartoonist Profiles Goes To Bed

For more than 35 years, the world of newspaper comic strips has been covered by Cartoonist PROfiles, a fine quarterly magazine produced by Jud Hurd, who was himself a practitioner of the art. Cartoonist PROfiles has delved into animation and comic books, but its principal focus has been gag cartoonists, political cartoons and comic strips. I've enjoyed each and every issue since the early seventies.

Unfortunately, Cartoonist PROfiles founder, publisher, and editor Jud Hurd passed away on September 14th, and the final issue of the magazine, #146, has now been printed and delivered.

Hurd loved cartooning, and he will be missed by everyone with a passion putting pen and ink to paper. Thanks, Jud!
