From the Dick Buchanan Files: Caption-less, Wordless Gag Cartoons 1946 – 1963

My friend Dick Buchanan has dug deep into his clip file of golden age magazine panel cartoons to come up with 15 caption-less gems. Ten of them don't even have a sign or written words as part of the art. Here are some great ones by some cartooning legends. Thank you, Dick!
