Stoker the Broker is a cartoon gag panel by Henry Boltinoff which was distributed to newspapers from September 7, 1959, to 1985 by Columbia Features and the Washington Star Syndicate.^[1][2]

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.^[2]

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.^[2]

Awards

In 1981, Boltinoff received the National Cartoonists Society's Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for his work on the cartoon series.^[3]
