In this first, issue of Frank Santoro's idiosyncratic analysis of Ohio cartooning, Caniffer, we are treated to insightful connections between Charles Burchfield, Billy Ireland, C.N. Landon, Noel Sickles and, of course, Milton Caniff.  And that's just for starters.  Santoro's typewritten text is interspersed with reproductions of archival newspaper strips, paintings, photographs, and his own diagrammatic illustrations.  Here in the pages of Caniffer, readers will find information – and knowledge – regarding – and revealing – under-documented connections and interrelationships that led to the formation of "The Ohio School of Naturalist Cartooning" that is its central thesis.
