Mort Walker, a giant in 20th Century American Cartooning passed away in 2018. I imagine the bulk of his books, especially things about cartooning, went to his sons who carry on his many comic-related endeavors. However, there are a number of books that recently sold with decent photos of the shelves. Maybe a "some day" project?

It's going to be tricky to identify those books by just looking at some shelves though.

Yeah, I'm not terribly keen on this since we have no idea what bits of the library this even is, let alone how tricksy it is to catalog from (unfocused) shelf-photos ...
