Talk:Lafave Newspaper Features

Addition from Arthur J. Lafave, Jr.:
 * I recently came across this article on Wikipedia about Lafave Newspaper Features. I am the son of the Lafave who ran the newspaper features, and in fact I myself ran the syndicate for a year or so after my father's death in 1962 until we wrapped it up.  This article is interesting, and while I can't guarantee every fact other than what I point out in the next two paragraphs, I didn't notice any obvious factual errors.


 * The biggest error in the article was the spelling of the name Lafave (which have now been mostly corrected). Our family spells it with a small "f," and I believe that spelling was adopted by my grandfather who must have anglicized the name when he moved to the United States from Quebec in the 1880s.


 * Although the article lists many of the features syndicated by my father, they omit one famous feature, which is the Australian Sunday page titled "Ginger Meggs" created by the well-known Australian newspaper man and cartoonist, Jim Bancks. My father simplified that feature to just "Ginger" for its distribution in the United States.


 * Thanks for the kind words and corrections to the article. I'd love to see any documentation showing when Ginger was syndicated by the Lafave syndicate -- stoshmaster (talk) 02:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
