Additional Details

Doty (1922-2015) was an award-winning American illustrator and cartoonist. He adopted his distinctly clean linear style from British and French cartoonists he met while stationed in Paris during WWII. Doty illustrated over 170 children's books and authored 27, while enjoying freelance work for The New York Times, Newsweek, Elle, Coca-Cola, Perrier, and Ford. After 69 years in the industry, he became one of only twelve artists to be inducted into the National Cartoonists Society Hall of Fame.
