CHP Cartoons

[khannon]

Hey guys,

A couple of weeks ago I posted some questions involving some of my grandfather's CHP gear I had come across. I recently was going through some boxes and I found a ton (hundreds!) of cartoons my Grandfather drew for the CHP (and some for the Navy--he was in the Naval Reserves). I thought I would post some here as someone here might enjoy seeing them. I apologize for the poor quality, I don't have a "high end" scanner.

My grandfather graduated from the Academy in 1965 (I include a picture of his graduation program, as well). He was a motorcycle cop until he was promoted from SGT to LT and ended up retiring in 1991. I don't know the inside story behind some of these cartoons, but there had to be one!

Thanks for your service!

Thanks for posting:biggrin:

Your grandfather pretty much drew the history of the CHP from the late 60's to the late 70's. Very nice. I didn't know him but I knew several members of his class.

Great cartoons by your grandfather! Would appreciate it if you would post some of the Navy ones. Thanks.

I have a few online of the Navy ones, the rest are back up at home. The Navy ones begin in the 1950s. The earliest ones I found were a couple supporting integration of the military. Then there are a bunch re: submarines (since he started his navy career in the submarine service). Then there are a bunch from his Special Boat Unit XI days (the ones I have online are from this later period):

When I get back to the SF area (where all of my stuff is), I will pull some more of the Navy ones.

[Propbraker]

Very cool! Thanks for putting those up!

[Mac]

Awesome cartoons. Thanks for posting them! Those bring back memories of an era long gone.

[Vinnie]

Sweet- I think we need to see the rebirth of Operation Cool :wink:

What I find hilarious about those ones is how my grandfather's general views re: hippies comes through. :lol:

I will be digging through some more soon and will post the funny ones. If anyone is interested in prints/copies, message me and I will see what I can do.

[bookin]

Those should be in the Zenith. Very cool.

[navybob]

What I find hilarious about those ones is how my grandfather's general views re: hippies comes through. :lol:

I remember a bumper sticker from the "hippie days" when it was very common to put down Law Enforcement that said something along the lines of:

"If you don't like the police the next time you need help call a hippie"

Maybe your grandfather had one of them on his car (I did) :biggrin:

I know how precious those drawings are to you, but I would like to offer that you consider sharing them with generations to come by presenting them to the Academy museum for preservation and such. They are a small representation of the department, its image, issues and times during from the mid 60's through the late 80's. I am certain there are many who can relate to some of those images. I know that I can. Thank you for sharing them. Many memories were conjured in my aging mind that were comical and sad.

That's a great idea. I know there was a small display at the academy of some of his cartoons a couple of months ago (my grandmother and great uncle were up there and got a picture). As a result, they may already have copies out there, I will have to check.

[phisch]

The museum has 5 of the cartoons on display under the heading "Squad Room Art".
The museum does not have copies of the others. I really enjoyed those you posted though, thank you for showing them to us. Feel free to post 'em as you get 'em scanned.

[khannon]

Do you guys have any suggestions on who at the Academy I could even contact to see if they are interested in these?

[CHP-Davis]

Awesome!
