Dick Buchanan has pulled out some rare color single panel cartoons from his Cartoon Clip File, located somewhere in Greenwich Village. These are rare since color printing was not the norm in the 1950s, being more expensive and time consuming to produce than black and white. Thanks and take it away, Dick.

MORE COLOR GAG CARTOONS
(1951 – 1957)
Here is a selection of vintage gag cartoons in color.
Most of these were published in the pages of Collier’s and American Magazine. Famed cartoon editor Gurney Williams was cartoon editor of both magazines. Young and upcoming cartoonists often appeared first in American Magazine before they made Collier’s roster.
