all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (who I still believe died in 1931), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 20 works (21 times, including 1 repeat) by him have been used here.
My comment at that prior strip also pointed to that and the artist info URLs.
