Ger Apeldoorn said...: I was thinking about you with this weather. Who is Bram and why does his drawing look like Browne's?; 1:26 PM
Mike Lynch said...: Browne was the apex of the cartoon clean line style -- and this fellow, Bram or Bray (not sure) was of that same school of style. Just look at that layout. All I know is that this is from a late 1950s Saturday Evening Post or Colliers mag. If you can fine out more, please let me know!; 2:09 PM
Ger Apeldoorn said...: Yeah, but the wavy lines on the curtains and the non connected way of drawing the hands makes it more like Browne's (later) work than it should be. know of quite a few cartoonists from this period, but none that would fit this signature.; 4:38 PM
Stephanie said...: This is kind of a sad little cartoon. Beautifully drawn. Those empty card tables and the snacks set out. Darn that snow!; 12:53 PM
Eli Stein said...: Are you guys kidding, or what? "Bram" is cartoonist Herb Brammeier, of course.

Do the questions get any harder?

Thanks so much for posting this gorgeous image. I immediately bookmarked it. (I don't bookmark much.) What a masterful composition accented by those beautiful spot grays. Love it.

Eli, thanks for clarifying the artist of this piece. Could have done without the pompous and elitist tone, but I appreciate the information regardless.
