Dick Buchanan has a twist. Here are some of the great, classic New
Yorker cartoonists with some gag cartoons that you never saw. Well, to
be more to the point, these were NEVER seen in The New Yorker, despite
these cartoonists' association with the magazine.
If all of these cartoonists were under contract to The New Yorker at
this time (Some may have been, some not, but I'm guessing most were.),
then one of the caveats in the contract is that the Magazine gets "first
look" at their cartoons. So, these were looked at by The New Yorker,
but then rejected. No Sale. So, the cartoonist was free to shop them
around, trying to sell them to another publication.
So here are some virtually unseen cartoons by Addams, Hokinson,
Shermund, Steig, Steinberg, Chon Day, Whitney Darrow, Jr., and others from publications OTHER
than The New Yorker.
Take it away, Dick! (And, thanks!)
