Al is one of the "four famous cartoonist Roth brothers:" Al, Irving Roir, Ben and Salo. They all used different surnames.
Look at that chair on the right. Just a well-placed scramble of lines.
These sagging, just-waking-up postures of the characters are lovely to look at.
Al Ross sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker in 1937. He is still cartooning so far as I know.
Again, it's just some squiggles on the vague shape of a cake. But that's enough. It works.
Well, there we have some wonderful, loopy cartoons by Al Ross. Another cartoonist I admire.

I am familiar with the Al Ross cartoons and am looking for more (of anyone) that relate to the fashion or garment industry. I like to lighten up my teaching with them. Any suggestions? Is there a way to search for the specific market?
Any fashion or garment industry related cartoons you can turn me onto?
Ross & George Dole had similar styles. What ever happened to george?
