Research Prompts from IJOCA 26:1 - #2 Who have been the richest cartoonists?

 Some Ideas for Articles, written by Mike Rhode, and excerpted from the print edition.

Who are the wealthiest? Who are the best paid? Who inherited enough money to be a cartoonist? In America? Franco-Belgian? Europe? In Japan? In the world?

This would need to be adjusted for inflation, but some American names might be George McManus, Chic Young, Hank Ketchum, Charles Schulz, Herblock, Matt Groening, Walt Disney, Todd McFarlane, Stan Lee, Bob Kane, Cathy Guisewite, Barbara Dale, Ranan Lurie, Al Hirschfeld, Peter Arno?
