Art Gates started out doing cartoons in the army.
He produced quite a few actually and was pretty successful with them. After
that he turned to advertising and other commercial projects. In the fifties he
returned to comics, sometimes as a funny artist, but mostly as a realistic
artists (of minimal scope). In the late fifties he returned to his former style
when he sold a series of army gags to newspapers. A bit strange to be doing
army gags that were as much based on WWII as on the current situation, but he kept
it going for a couple of years.
Great & memorable art, viewed in various magazines, and elsewhere, in the 50's and later!
