Edd Cartier

Edd Cartier is one of my favorite American pulp illustrators. His work manages to strike that magical chord between the humorous and the grotesque. I've been able to find little biographical information about him but he's apparently still alive!
(I think?)

Here are some galleries of his black and white illustration work, much of it from John Campbell's Astounding and Unknown magazines of the 1940's:
