Madness in Crowds: The Teeming Mind of Harrison Cady

Harrison Cady, the early 20th-century cartoonist and illustrator best known for his whimsical, teeming nature scenes, is the focus of this single-issue monograph from Beehive Books. Launched in 2019, it uses a comic format to explore the crowded, madcap world of his mind, pairing his intricate linework with biographical and critical context. The book matters as a focused, art-historical deep dive into a figure whose influence on American illustration and comic strip artistry is often overlooked.
