[edit] Characters and stories
Working in a style somewhat similar to the cartoons of Hank Ketcham, the prolific Boltinoff drew his stockbroker Stoker as a swell-dressed, balding chap with a white mustache and a distinguished demeanor. He interacted with buyers, sellers and his wife. In one cartoon, Stoker was revealed to be a grandfather.[1]
Designed with a narrow column width, the feature was formatted to fit on the financial pages of newspapers. Boltinoff sometimes used the same character in advertising cartoons.[1]
[edit] Awards
In 1981, Boltinoff received the National Cartoonists Society's Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for his work on the strip.[3]
