'Snappy' (Crack Comics #14).
Arthur Beeman was an American newspaper cartoonist and comic book artist. He was born in 1914 as Arthur Dubbert Beeman in Los Angeles County, and had his sports cartoons published in the San Diego Union by 1933. Beeman was as an artist of humor features for the comic books published by Quality Comics in the early 1940s, carrying titles like 'Homer Doodle', 'Inferior Man', 'Kidding the Kids', 'Miss Winky', 'Snappy' and 'Tommy Tinkle'. He also drew 'K. P. Jones' for Harvey Comics. Also during the 1940s, he was an assistant on the newspaper feature 'Seein' Stars', drawn by Feg Murray for King Features Syndicate.
In the first half of the 1950s, Beeman drew a newspaper feature called 'Those Were the Days', that ran at least in The New Salem Journal. Beeman subsequently found employment in the American space program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He provided art to space-themed books like 'Mars Revisited' by Donald L. Cyr (1959), and 'Mariner Mission to Venus' by Harold J. Wheelock (1963).
