From the Dick Buchanan Files: Vintage Gag Cartoons 1935 - 1964

There was a time when all of the major American glossy magazines had single panel gag cartoons. These were read once or twice and, like the magazines themselves, chucked in the garbage many decades ago. Thankfully, Dick Buchanan and his sharp pair of scissors saved thousands.

VINTAGE GAG CARTOONS
(1935 – 1964)


Here’s some N.O.S. That’s “New Old Stuff, in this case the stuff is a collection of more vintage gag cartoons clipped from the pages of the great magazines of the 20th century. Perhaps you’re old enough to have seen these cartoons in the magazines in which they were published. Or maybe you came across some of them later in book collections. Now, of course, these days the main source for all sorts of vintage gag cartoons is the Cartoon Clip File, maintained somewhere in New York’s scenic Greenwich Village. Here are some new additions . . . Take a look.
