A journalist (or editorial cartoonist) for a small, local newspaper is generally not notable in the absence of evidence to the contrary (e.g. syndication of his cartoon, awards received for his cartoon, his cartoons being the subject of wide commentary, etc.). The sources in this article currently don't demonstrate this.

That is unfortunate as he seems to be an important character in local history whose influence in Portsmouth should be preserved in some place more accessible than 100 year-old issues of the PDT. It may be, though, that Wikipedia is not the place to do this. Chetsford (talk) 09:12, 9 January 2018 (UTC)}}

James Harvey Shonkwiler (1877–1964) was a popular illustrator and editorial cartoonist for the Portsmouth Daily Times in the early 20th century. [1] Shonkwiler, who signed his work "Shonk," illustrated events in Portsmouth, Ohio, for the newspaper including public meetings, political events, sporting events, and festivals.

In 1918, Shonkwiler resigned from the Portsmouth Times and accepted a position with Standard Publishing Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, a religious publisher. There, he wrote and illustrated several children's books, including a series of ten books based on characters in the Bible.

Tenure at Portsmouth Daily Times

Billy Butt-In

Later Billy Butt-In was featured in a popular, semi-regular comic strip with its own cast of characters. Among his adventures was a 1914 trip to meet Teddy Roosevelt in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with his best friend, a stereotypical African-American named Shine. Billy had somehow come into possession of Roosevelt's "big stick," and wanted to return it to him.[2]

Later Works

Shonkwiler was employed by Standard Publishing Co., a religious publisher, of Cincinnati in 1918. There he wrote and illustrated a series of ten 32-page booklets, called Bible Hero Stories. The books featured the biblical characters: Joseph, David, Moses, Paul, Jesus (Parts 1 and 2), Mark, Esther, Peter, and Daniel. .[3]Standard Publishing also published Shonkwiler's children's book, "The Adventures of Brownie Bear." [4] Shonkwiler also illustrated Sunday School literature and other materials printed by the publisher.[5]

Recognition

Shonkwiler parodied a controversy regarding accusations against Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Harvey Wiley, and his subsequent exoneration in a September 22, 1911 cartoon, which was forwarded to Wiley by a local doctor. In a December 10, 1911 letter, Wiley responded: "I think the very funniest cartoon and the most expressive one is that which you sent me from the Portsmouth Daily Times. All of my friends to whom I have shown it have laughed most heartily at the way the cartoonist has set up the situation."[6]

Shonkwiler was profiled in the August 1913 issue of Cartoons Magazine, which credited his editiorial cartoons with helping "to exterminate one of the old-time political rings that had for years maintained a strangle hold upon the city and county." (I.e., Portsmouth and Scioto County, Ohio.) Shonkwiler's creation, Billy Butt-In, was humorously profiled in Cartoons Magazine in May 1913, which described the mascot as a popular feature whose "private correspondence is second only to that of the editor himself."[7]

Cartoons Magazine recognized Shonkwiler for his portrayal of German General Paul von Hindenburg in June 1915. "A cartoon by J. H. Shonkwiler, of the Portsmouth (O.) Times, reproduced herewith, has won the artist many compliments, and is said to have reached Von Hindenburg himself." [8] "Shonkwiler won national acclaim during World War I for a cartoon...in which he drew the German general with hair of bayonets and used similar armaments for other facial features."[5]

Death

Shonkwiler was struck and killed by a truck near is farm home near New Richmond, Ohio, on June 16, 1964. He was known to have failing hearing and eyesight, and apparently failed to notice the approaching vehicle. Shonkwiler was buried in Portsmouth, Ohio.[5]{{clear}}
