Need some thinking caps to identify this if you can...

Hi All:

Don't post to often and seldom ask for help, but in this case I need some input if you can.

I am trying to identify the cartoonist that would have done this image....each cartoonist has a unique look that he/she uses for the characters, and this one has that specific look.



I remember seeing these when I was 'much' younger, but have not been able to correctly identify the cartoonist...the one I thought it was turned out to be wrong.

Am wanting to use a couple of the characters from the cartoons on a web site and need to get permission/license from the cartoonist/copyright holder...but first I have to find out who it is.

Much thanks in advance.

Cornell
