National Cartoonists Society
Irving was a founding member of the National Cartoonists Society, although his name is curiously absent from the organization's online roster of members. He was the official historian for the Police Department's Honor Legion, and he owned a collection of police memorabilia dating back more than 300 years. His collection included dozens of photographs of law enforcement officers, including some photos from the 19th century.
Clifford Irving used his father's art supplies to create forgeries necessary for his 1971 hoax autobiography of Howard Hughes.
