Herein the second issue of Frank Santoro's idiosyncratic analysis of Ohio cartooning, Caniffer, a highlight is a special focus is on the advent and work of Edwina Dumm, as her career is interwoven with those of Ireland, C.N. Landon, Sickles and Caniff.  Again, Santoro's typewritten text is interspersed with reproductions of archival newspaper strips and photographs, this time augmented with further archival material found in the Billy Ireland collection including letters and excerpts from an interview with Edwina Dumm by Lucy Caswell, the founder and former curator of The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, on the campus of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. 

Here, once again, 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.
