GREAT CARTOONS OF THE WORLD Series 6, part 6

I'm continuing to post excerpts from the 1972 book Great Cartoons of the World, Series Six.

This one's by William Steig, from The New Yorker. Of which is said in the introduction:

Steig's “Come to bed” is a great cartoon that transcends the frame of bossy wife and weak fish who needs to be bossed. It reaches into history, and, in so doing, reveals a bit of everyone's childhood.

Jules Stauber

Chon Day in the Saturday Evening Post.

Ton Smits

These two are by Tony Munzlinger

Anatol Kovarsky

Stanislav Holý for Dikobraz

William O'Brian in The New Yorker

Jean-Jacques Sempé in Editions Denoël

Vladimir Renčin, again for Dikobraz

Stanislav Holý

Norman Thelwell in Punch, again written about in the foreword:

Thelwell's [cartoon] depicts a moppet with a tilted blood in his veins, wearing a cowboy suit. The outrageous juxtaposition of the small boy with the great hall brings together the timelessness and the timely by reducing the glorious figure of the duke to the level of any kid in Hoboken.

GREAT CARTOONS OF THE WORLD Series 6, part 1

I posted Volume 5 a long time ago, so I've jumped from 4 to 6. Sorry for doing things out of order (it's complicated), but for all intents and purposes it doesn't really matter what order this is in anyway. This is the sixth annual series from 1972, edited by John Bailey.

As the cover flap says of this book:

“All the wold loves a cartoon, for in the cartoon world everyone is represented—the rich and the poor, the successes and the failures, the young and the old—and everyone is equally comic and vulnerable. Once again John Bailey has collected a wealth of fun and fantasy in cartoon form by such figures as William Steig, Terence Parkes, Ton Smits, Vahan Shirvanian, Charles Addams, and scores more. Culled from the richest sources of humor, such as The New Yorker, Punch, and Paris Match, this delightful compendium reveals how universal and timeless cartoons really are.

From political satire to generation-gap quickies, Great cartoons of the World presents a microcosm of the world we all live in, allowing us to view it through the eyes of some of the sharpest and wittiest people drawing today.

As John Bailey says: 'It is a common experience to try to remember a funny cartoon, and not quite be able to remember it. Too many fine cartoons are thrown out with the fish. This book, then, is an attempt to put some of the best cartoons between hard covers, where they will be safe. I am perfectlyy sure that some of them will be valid twenty years hence.'”

These next three are from an endless series of gags Terrence “Larry” Parkes did for Punch of a man trying to do “woman's work”.

Frank Modell for The New Yorker again. The editor writes of this cartoon in the introduction:

“Some cartoons contain both the elements of timeliness and timelessness. Modell's upside-down stocking, 'You call that hung by the chimney with care?' shows a contemporary child within the context of timeless Christmas. It is the father who has the sense of the historic Christmas.”
