OHIO NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Addition to make university's cartoon art collection really super May 16, 2008 1:35 PM COLUMBUS, Ohio In comic book terms, it might be on the scale of a merger of the X-Men and the Justice League of America. Two major collections of comic and cartoon art are being brought together at Ohio State University to create what's believed to be the world's largest treasury of cartoon art. The school's Cartoon Research Library says it's acquiring and plans to display the collection of the International Museum of Cartoon Art, founded in 1973 by "Beetle Bailey" creator Mort Walker. Its roughly 200,000 original comic strip and cartoon drawings and other works have been in storage since the museum's last physical location closed six years ago. Ohio State is now looking for a larger space for the cartoon library, including new gallery space.
