Is Diss A System? A Milt Gross Comic Reader February 7, 2010

Author Ari Y. Kelman interviewed by Harry Katz, editor, Cartoon America: Comic Art at the Library of Congress

Kelman presents some of the most hilarious work of Milt Gross, the forefather of American Jewish humor. A cartoonist and animator, Gross first found fame in the late 1920s writing comic strips and newspaper columns in the unmistakable accent of Jewish immigrants. His work includes De Night in De Front From Chreesmas and Famous Fimmales Witt Odder Ewents From Heestory.
