From the Dick Buchanan Files: Magazine Gag Cartoons 1950 - 1972

Here is a batch of cartoons from Dick Buchanan's magazine Cartoon Clip File that were boxed and put out of the way for a long time. He just found them, and they have aged like fine wine! Thanks and take it away, Dick!

GAG CARTOONS
(1950 – 1972)

Simply, these cartoons were culled from The Cartoon Clip File, housed somewhere in the friendly confines of New York’s Greenwich Village. These cartoons had been neatly tucked away in a box labeled NOT FILED. Upon closer inspection it was discovered many had not been filed for good reason. But imagine our surprise when we found some to be quite amusing and others which were flat out funny!  We probably won’t ever get around to filing them but are happy to share them . . .
