Reamer Keller
.
A selection of cartoons by the great magazine gag cartoonist Reamer Keller (1905-1994), showing a color finish, a rough, a comic strip and two different situations illustrating the same caption. The chorus girls are from his 1958 boxed set of cocktail napkins, Misbehavior in the Human Female, satirizing The Kinsey Report.
This drawing shows how the fast-paced, prolific Keller could whip out a quick rough, usually doing 50 in a two-day period. Working with several gagwriters, he submitted to both little-known and major magazines, publishing over 22,000 cartoons between 1946 and 1966. His comic strip Kennesaw ran from 1953 to 1955. Ger Apeldoorn has a batch of Keller's Collier's cartoons here.
