Harvey Kurtzman
- Bill Peckmann sent me a piece by Harvey Kurtzman from his Playboy work.
Here’s a note from Bill: “The art from today is from the June 1960 issue of Esquire magazine. It’s a neat commentary on classical music, Hollywood and Vienna done in 1960.”
“All of his Esquire pieces were probably the best finished color art he ever did, he liked them enough to have them framed and hung in his living room. It was always a big treat for his fans to actually see the originals. Harvey was a very, very kind person, his front door was always open to us slobbering fans.”
Here are the pictures.

If there were no Harvey Kurtzman would I have ever begun drawing cartoons? I was pondering this earlier today – he’s so important – great stuff – thanks.
