From the Dick Buchanan Files: New Old Stuff: Gag Cartoons 1946 - 1966

Dick Buchanan and his legendary Cartoon Clip File were recently audited. Bad news for him, but good news for us. Dick explains it all below. Thanks, Dick!

NEW OLD STUFF: GAG CARTOONS
(1946 – 1966)

Pursuant to the Old Joke Protection Act of 1953, the Cartoon Clip File was recently audited by the Old Joke Investigating Unit. A team of forensic gagsters descended on the Cartoon Clip File and delved into our trove of gag cartoons. The result was the recovery of some mid-20th century gag cartoons we’ve long forgotten and a stain on our coffee table. The rumor that some vintage gag cartoons were misplaced or mis-filed were quickly dispelled when we demonstrated we have never had a filing system in the first place, just cardboard boxes. Apparently, that was not acceptable, so the Old Joke Auditor has ruled that we rescue these gag cartoons from obscurity immediately . . . Take a Look.
