1964 Cartoon Booklet THE ART OF LIVING WITH YOURSELF - UPDATED -


Johnny C.'s A Hole in the Head blog presents a 1964 cartoon booklet The Art of Living With Yourself ... and Others.

This booklet is from a series made by The Mental Health Society of Chicago for the Western Electric Company. The cartoon art looks like it came out of any big advertising firm in the early 1960s. Once you rip away the funny art, I agree with Johnny: it's the same good management skills that people are told now -- except with PowerPoint bullet points instead of fun cartoons!

Thanks for sharing this, Johnny!

UPDATE: Dirk Deppey, whose eyes are keener than mine, notes via Journalista! that the book bears the signature of Eisner studio alum Klaus Nordling.
