Rese�a del editor

"Mutt 'n Bone" has been published as a tribute to Jim Moss and all profits are being donated by his widow, Gladys, to The Salvation Army's Ethembeni Children's Home, Southern Africa, for the caring ministry of its HIV/Aids clinic. A gesture of which the central character 'Mutt' would heartily approve. The book contains 185 cartoons by Jim freelance artist of great originality, who produced countless posters, book jackets, logos, illustrations and cartoons for The Salvation Army, for educational publishers and other charities and commercial enterprises. They are selected from 657 which ran weekly in 'Salvationist' for almost 14 years. These weekly strips in The Salvation Army's newspaper, "Salvationist", perceptively highlighted the lives, thoughts and feelings of two dynamically different Salvation Army bandsmen as they aimed to serve the Lord together. Although the cartoon characters are very decidedly 'Salvation Army', the humour can be appreciated, and the drawings enjoyed by all.

Biograf�a del autor

Jim Moss was born in London in 1926, one of seven children. In 1939, as war broke out, the family became scattered evacuees and 13-year-old Jim, with brother Pete, travelled to Reading, where they were billeted. Sent out of the house in all weathers, Jim and his brother one day took refuge in the Reading East Salvation Army hall opposite their billet. They were warmly welcomed and, said Jim, 'great tolerance' was shown as he struggled to play E flat bass in the young people's band. Jim was in the military for four years during and just after the Second World War, serving in India and the Middle East. When demobbed, he was given a wonderful opportunity to study at the Borough Art School in London for four years, taking his NDD course in Illustration. His wide range of hand-skills enabled him to use many different kinds of medium - from pencil, pen and ink to scraperboard - to complete the brief and get the message across. He often said, 'It's not the drawing that's the problem, it's finding an original idea! After a long, exciting career designing posters, book jackets, logos, children's books for many different clients, as well as the Bram cartoons which delighted generations of young Salvationists, in 1987 Jim devised the Mutt & Bone cartoon series. Jim was, in the Salvation Army phrase, 'promoted to Glory' in July 2001 and this book is an affectionate memorial to a well-loved figure who has helped The Salvation Army both look and laugh and sometimes ponder! Just as Jim would have wished, had he lived to see Mutt & Bone in book form, all profits from this book are being donated to The Salvation Army's Ethembeni Children's Home, Southern Africa, for the caring ministry of its HIV/Aids clinic
