What's the story behind your family and Clare Briggs? He's a fairly obscure name now.

He's my great-grandfather. Mother's mother's father. My grandmother was "Miss Clare Briggs", who was also a cartoonist for a time.

Ah! Good to know! As you might know I wrote a long essay about Briggs (and more glancingly his cartooning daughter) in an introduction to a re-issue of Oh Skin-Nay!

I will have to check and see if it's that re-issue my parents have. Ordinary Times runs a Briggs cartoon every morning. https://ordinary-times.com/author/cabriggs/ …

It's this edition from Drawn and Quarterly. Let me know if you have it -- if not I can send a copy. My essay on Briggs is very long (5,000 words) and in-depth https://drawnandquarterly.com/tags/oh-skin-nay …
