Joe Musial
Joseph Musial, signature Joe Musial, (January 15, 1905 – June 6, 1977) was an American cartoonist. He is best known today for having drawn The Katzenjammer Kids from 1956 to his death.

Family
Musial was born and raised in Yonkers, New York. His parents were Polish immigrants.

Career
Having studied at the Sorbonne University of Paris in 1929, Musial started out his cartooning career as assistant to Billy DeBeck, creator of Barney Google, in the early 1930s. He subsequently worked as ghost artist on a number of comic strips from King Features, apparently stepping in to assist various creators whenever necessary. He eventually became art director of the comic book division by the syndicate.

In 1956, following the death of cartoonist Doc Winner, King Features sought a replacement writer and artist on The Katzenjammer Kids. Musial took the job, and spent his remaining 21 years drawing the popular weekly strip. He was the fourth artist to work on the strip, following Rudolph Dirks, Harold Knerr and Winner.

Death
Musial died at the North Shore Hospital in Manhasset, New York, at the age of 72. Following his death, cartoonist Mike Senich took over The Katzenjammer Kids.

*please note: collecting and selling comics has been my hobby for over 30 years._ due to the hours of my job i can usually only mail packages out on saturdays._ i send out first class or priority mail which takes 2 - 7 days to arrive in the usa and air mail international which takes 5 - 30 days or more depending on where you live in the world. I do not "sell" postage or packaging and charge less than the actual cost of mailing. I package items securely and wrap well. Most pages come in an archival sleeve with acid free backing board at no extra charge. If you are dissatisfied with an item. Let me know and i wil do my best to make it right.Many

Thanks to all of my 1,000's of past customers around the world.

enjoy your hobby everyone and have fun collecting!
