Witness the innovation, ingenuity, and creativity that brought this action hero to life on TV screens across the United States of America. It’s how studio owner, Ritchard Brown, along with comics artist Clark Haas, and inventor and photographer Edwin Gillette, pulled off the most amazing feat of early TV animation, and with virtually no budget. This book takes a look not only at the adventures of Clutch, Spinner, and Paddlefoot, but at the real action going on behind the scenes. I adore her more every day.Ĭartoon Research presents “Clutch Cargo's Adventure Log Book.” It was promoted as television’s “first moving comic strip.” In the 60 years since Cambria Studios’ Clutch Cargo series made its debut, it is perhaps best known by animation historians as the cartoon with talking human mouths superimposed on static art.

Special thanks to my beautiful wife, for her daily encouragement.

I also author a series of animation books for Cartoon Research, and am a member of the Spring Lake Winsor McCay Park committee. I have written many genres of books including adventure, history, and the motion picture industry. In 2004, I became a published author with my first book a Christian tale of a boy who exchanged emails with an angel.

I also created comic strips for several West Michigan newspapers while working as artist/designer for our hometown newspaper from 1981 to 2015. At age 13 I wrote and illustrated comic books, which I sold to neighborhood children, and later published several offset print comic books.
