Irving Roir

Click, Part 18

These were some of the cartoons published in Click magazine's first annual in 1940.

This one was by Bandel Linn

E. McNerney

Irving Roir

The signature looks like it says James Trembath, who was one of the Captain Marvel artists from around that time.

Dorothy McKay

This signature says “Haljay”, so it was probably either a collaboration or something by someone whose name was “Hal J.”
