Post by D.D.DeggPost by l***@yahoo.comThank you. Any chance you could tell me where to go online to find people who would know whether or not horror cartoonist Luis Dominguez is alive? (Preferably without my having to register.)
I'm as much in the dark as you.
My list of "Senior Strippers", surviving (U.S.) cartoonists age 90 or older,
http://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2018/06/27/senior-strippers/
lists Dominguez with an asterisk noting I was unable to confirm his status
(along with editor/compiler Phil Hirsch).
And a recent quick search still leaves it a question mark.

Nice link, thanks.
Aside from searching in Google Images for Dominguez's name plus "cartoonist" or "horror," there are three 1970s books where you can see his non-horror work (btw, his name is sometimes misspelled as "Louis"):
Incredible But True! aka Incredible! by Kevin MacFarland

(a few pictures; scroll to the bottom)
More Incredible! by MacFarland
The Mammoth Book of Trivia, ed. James Meyers (this draws heavily from the first two books, plus Triviata: A Compendium of Useless Information by Timothy T. Fullerton, and includes tiny, neat ink illustrations by Harold Montiel & unknown Victorian illustrators)
Re the third book, I said elsewhere:
Most things only take a few sentences, but some stories take two pages and include a large illustration. The ones like that I remember include the story of the "wolf girls" from India named Amala & Kamala, the story of Houdini, the story of the bloodthirsty Mongol ruler Tamerlane, and three stories about very strong men who were 1) a 19th-century English prisoner, John Gully, who rises to stardom as a boxer and doesn't fall 2) Milo of Crotona, a huge Greek athlete from 6th-century B.C. who carried an ox, and later, got trapped and devoured by wolves 3) Montreal's Louis Cyr who had four horses harnessed to him - two to each arm - and they couldn't budge him. (Those were all from the MacFarland books, as it turned out.)
Re Wallace Tripp: I suspect he was best known, among children, for his pictures for "Come Back, Amelia Bedelia."
Or maybe for Patricia Thomas' book, "'Stand Back,' Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!,'"
Both were from 1971. (He also illustrated "Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia" in 1972.)
He was 78 and lived in Peterborough, New Hampshire. (Also in Jaffrey, NH.)
From "Contemporary Authors":
"Recipient of Boston Globe-Horn Book award for illustrations, 1977, for Granfa' Grig Had a Pig; A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse to Me appeared on the American Library Association's notable book list."
