Here are some mid century cartoons that friend-of-this-blog Dick
Buchanan "found interesting and amusing." This is a great selection of
fifteen gag cartoons that probably have not seen the light of day since
they were first published. These are from his personal clip file and
Dick has cataloged them and made some notes. Here is some early work by
Eldon Dedini, Edward Koren and Johnny Hart. Thanks for sharing these!
Take it away, Dick!
