Three from the 1950s: Cover of the Fordham humor magazine, a drawing on Craftint paper (possibly late 1940s) and a 1959 cover for The Cartoonist. Note the party guests not only include cartoonists and cartoon characters but also a strange hybrid of cartoonists who have morphed into their own characters.

National Cartoonists Society meeting on cover of The Cartoonist (1959)
Bill Holman (Smokey Stover), Ernie Bushmiller (Nancy) and Gus Edson (The Gumps) at 1950 National Cartoonists Society meeting.
Here's what Gus Edson was doing 11 years earlier (The Gumps, June 25, 1939).
Another great serving of Wallace Wood! Is there any chance that the craft-tint illo is from the late '40s? Kinda looks it. And the cartoonist's smoker is amazing. So many beautiful gestures and bits of story telling sprinkled throughout!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Maybe I should add some of those National Cartoonists Society photos to amplify.
