Beschreibung | Frank McKinney Hubbard (1. September 1868 - 26. Dezember 1930), besser bekannt als Kin Hubbard, war ein amerikanischer Karikaturist, Humorist und Journalist. Sein berühmtestes Werk war "Abe Martin". Der Cartoon wurde im Dezember 1904 in den Indianapolis News eingeführt und erschien sechs Tage pro Woche auf der Rückseite der News, und das sechsundzwanzig Jahre lang. Die Abe-Martin-Cartoons wurden 1910 landesweit syndiziert und erschienen schließlich in etwa zweihundert US-Zeitungen. Hubbard schuf und illustrierte auch einen einmal wöchentlich erscheinenden humoristischen Essay für die "Short Furrows"-Kolumne in der Sonntagsausgabe der News, der ab 1911 syndiziert wurde. Der autodidaktische Künstler und Schriftsteller fertigte mehr als achttausend Zeichnungen für die Indianapolis News an und schrieb und illustrierte etwa tausend Essays für die "Short Furrows". |
