Dick Buchanan has delved into his stockpile of magazine gag cartoons and some up with a trove of rare color ones today. Thanks and take it away, Dick!

COLOR GAG CARTOONS
   (1939 – 1958)


     Magazine gag cartoons were not usually published in color, so when we find one, we take special care to save it.  Most of the cartoons in this selection appeared in Collier’s and American Magazines.  The Charles Schulz cartoon we discovered on the back side of a Quaker Cereal advertisement for the Sgt. Preston of the Yukon Trial Kit.  One never knows where one may find an old cartoon. Take a look at color cartoons by some of the 20th century America’s best magazine gag cartoonists . . .
