I just heard that Mel Lazarus has passed away. A very funny cartoonist and from what I have seen and read a very funny man as well. He is best remembered for Miss Peach and Mom, but he had more than a decade of working as a cartoonist, comic book artist and newspaper cartoonist before that. I keep coming across his work in all sorts of magazines and have shown on this blog the daily panel he did before Miss Peach, Li'l Ones. You'll find those and Miss Peach and more bits and bobs when you follow the link. To justify this post I have one more comic book page he did.

What Fresh Mel Is This?
Monday Late Cartoon Day.
Mel Lazerus is best know for not one but two hit strips, Miss Peach and Momma. Before that, he worked as a cartoonist and for a short time in the fifties (though we must never forget that three years could never have felt like a short time at the time) he had a daly panel about kids. It was called Li'l Ones and it was.. little. Like Penauts, it was designed to get sold because it did not take in a lot of space, only even less so than Peanuts. So here are some of those short shorts, accompanied by an illustation for Story-a-Day Magazine from the mid-fifties.
