Some time ago I found a charming little cartoon series in The Berkshire Eagle in the early fifties. It seems to have been a weekly cartoon, around the subject of books. My friend Craig Yoe used to have a Facebook group called Library Porn and this would have suited there very well. As for the cartoonists, followers of this blog know I have seen a lot of cartoons and can place most artists in a certain circle. Here, I can recognize some (big names even from the middle tier group, like Shafer and Adams and Brown), but some are completely unfamiliar. There is no syndicate mentioned and no magazine here they could have been taken from (Saturday Literary Review, maybe?). It seems to have run for at least two years and I clearly did not get all of them. If they were hilariously funny, I would go back and find more. But I understand why I stopped here. It is nothing more than a curiosity. But a damn intriguing one.

Ha Ha Funny
Monday Cartoon Day.
Here is a slection of cartoons from what I would call the mid range of American cartoonists from the late forties and early fifties. Dependable,but maybe a bit safe. They were often not classy enough for The New Yorker and not dirty enough for the girlie magazines (although most of them ended up there in the late fifties).
