Gahan Wilson, the legendary macabre cartoonist for The New Yorker, National Lampoon, Playboy and many others, is not in good health. He has advanced dementia. His stepson, Paul Winters, has placed him in a memorycare facility, and visits every day. But the care is expensive. Paul has set up a GoFundMe to help pay the bills. Please consider giving.
Dick Buchanan has culled his tremendous clip file of great cartoons to come up with these vintage Gahan Wilson gems. Enjoy. And, thanks, Dick, for these wonderful gag cartoons.
