Here's more cartoons by the prolific "wiggly line" master 20th century gag cartoonist Gardner Rea courtesy of Dick Buchanan's Cartoon Clip File. This complements the Gardner Rea "Wiggly Gardner" piece that Dick shared before. Go and take a look. Rea wrote about forty gags a week and sold most of them. He was there at the beginning at The New Yorker, and a mainstay of the general magazine market. Thanks and take it away, Dick!
