Human Failings. Dallis, an amateur cartoonist before he went to Temple University medical school, had long toyed with the idea of starting an educational comic strip about the workaday problems of a U.S. doctor. When he went to Toledo in 1946, as director of the newly established Toledo Mental Hygiene Center, he met a local resident named Allen Saunders, who does the continuity for successful comic strips himself (Mary Worth, Kerry Drake, Steve Roper). Saunders encouraged Dallis, put him in touch with Chicago's Publishers Syndicate and two artists who do the final drawings. So Rex Morgan...
...bobbing up in his own practice. Not long ago he received a copy of a medical questionnaire on hypnosis. Psychiatrist Dallis considered his answers carefully, for hypnosis, long the refuge of quacks and magicians, is once more acknowledged to have some valuable uses in psychiatry. A few weeks later, Cartoonist Dallis had Dr. Rex pitted against an artful con man named Landros, who was practicing hypnotism for his own evil purposes on a wealthy young matron.

But Dowling still has more fun with the opposition, e.g., his cartoon of Stevenson in a lifeboat after his recent speech on the "fears" that have spread in the U.S. since the Republicans took office...
Slow Game. Dowling's style of cartooning came from famed retired Cartoonist J. N. ("Ding") Darling. A Nebraska-born banker's son, Dowling met Ding at 16 and patterned his cartoons on Ding's from then on. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley ('28) and worked as a police reporter for the City News Bureau of Chicago. He started to study at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, but after a month was advised to go out and work on newspapers. He got a job as an artist for the Associated Press...
