From the Dick Buchanan Files: Gag Cartoons 1945 - 1958

Here are some vintage gag cartoons from magazines of long past courtesy of the collection of Dick Buchanan, who somehow found time out from his hectic holiday shopping schedule to send these along for us to enjoy. Thank you, Santa Buchanan!

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.
