Page "Norman Rockwell" Paragraph 15

Shortly after the war, Rockwell was contacted by writer Elliott Caplin, brother of cartoonist Al Capp, with the suggestion that the three of them should make a daily comic strip together, with Caplin and his brother writing and Rockwell drawing.

King Features Syndicate is reported to have promised a $ 1, 000 / week deal, knowing that a Capp-Rockwell collaboration would gain strong public interest.

However, the project was ultimately aborted as it turned out that Rockwell, known for his perfectionism as an artist, could not deliver material as fast as required of him for a daily comic strip.
