Fascinating, these are. Yes, I recall as a child in the fifties addicted to a panoply of cartoons, then years later in art school, discovering Michelangelo's cartoons, altogether something else, more about the paper and preparation for paintings, especially his cartoon method for those great murals in the Sistine Chapel.
Wow. Cartooning was, in a way, more developed as an "art form" back then, perhaps more so than it is now, because it tried to do so much more at the time.

Thanks Galen. Your cartoon interest must have led to your “Stilts” animal painting, which is impossible to get out of my mind. A great one.

Yes Steve, great observation. Without radio, TV, internet, movies, only a 'Nast' and a few others could put out equally powerful statements!
