GAG CARTOONS
(1945 – 1958)


Here are a few vintage gag cartoons which have been clipped from the pages of the great national magazines of the past. They have been expertly executed by some of the mid-century’s best gag cartoonists. As usual, these cartoons are not as funny as they were when they first appeared but they are still well drawn. Take a look . . .
