		Mort Walker looks to be following through on an idea that Editor & Publisher notes">Editor & Publisher notes he's been bandying about in public for years by renaming his International Museum for Cartoon Art the National Cartoon Museum and securing space in the Empire State Building, with plans to open in 2006.
		Like most pieces featuring Walker -- who probably doesn't get enough credit for this kind of interest in the form -- there are some fine out-of-left-field details that make the article a bouncy read: a cartoonists' meeting in Jamaica, Marvel pledging $1 million in the throes of financial turmoil, and so on.
		If Walker's museum becomes fully housed in the building that hosted Martin Goodman's comic book company once upon a time, it should give some teeth to the conventional wisdom that New York City is the only place on the East Coast for such a museum.

		Himself a WWII veteran, and a noted contributor to and administrator of numerous veterans' aid organizations, Walker's got no shortage of inspiration, yet he continues to toe the line of pabulum, keeping Beetle as detached from the realities of the military experience as B.C. is from the fossil record.
		The Walkers have figured out yet another way to point at the singular trait of one of their characters.
		These characters are archetypes, with very easily-mined depths, yet Walker is content to endlessly remind us of the color of their gift-wrap instead of opening their packages.

		Walker calls this "see-ability" and "readability." Publishing professionally as a child prodigy at the age of eleven, and going on to hold numerous positions as an editor, designer, and creator of nine syndicated strips, it is ironic that Walker's most recognized character is known as the laziest fellow in the funny pages.
		It would kill me to be told to quit." Walker's continued enthusiasm reveals that the boy with the sailor cap continues to beam from the drawing board, and that to "follow one's bliss" remains as valid and vital at age fourteen as it does at age eighty.
