"In my years of collecting Oroville memorabilia and studying Oroville and Butte County history, I came across these cartoons in a batch of papers that came from an elderly deceased citizen of Oroville. I always wondered who Dunn was and now, thanks to Stu Shaner's column, I am now reasonably certain that the cartoonist is John Dunn."

Given to Stu Shaner in a conversation with Alvin Dunn, John Dunn's brother:

John Dunn was my brother. He worked for Dan Beebe at the Mercury newspaper as a cartoonist in 1939. He left the Mercury to work for Walt Disney. Later, he was employed at Warner Brothers as one of the artists drawing Bugs Bunny cartoons. John Dunn died of a heart attack in the 1960s.
