more unwoke cartoons

I post cartoons that might have been acceptable thirty or more years ago (by white males anyway) but here are some more, plus some that might have been wrong even then.

I hate that word “woke” though. Just that it's replaced “politically correct” now that's been taken away from us. What's better? Enlightened? Evolved? Anyway, here's a baker's dozen of cartoons they wouldn't print today.

Cavalcade, c. 1940s

Cartoon themes: Just Married

I've taken the remainder of my gag cartoons (still several years' worth with more to come) and put them into several categories. First up is the “Just Married” sign.

Man, October 1971

Jem, August 1958

It's always bothered me when cartoons have the book title on the back cover, but I've found myself it's often necessary for staging.

Jem, July 1953

Jem, August 1957

High, November 1958

Bob Barnes
Hello Buddies, Winter 1950

Sometimes they'd use the same theme like this at least twice in one magazine

Al Ross
Hello Buddies, May 1955

Good Humor, circa 1964

Reamer Keller
Fun House, February 1980

Frank Beaven
Army Navy Fun Parade, April 1953

I've decided that this is the best gag cartoon ever made. I have an essay half-written explaining why. I pitched it to Comics Journal six months ago and need to get off my ass and finish it.

Playboy, August 1982

Gaze, 1 of 3

These are the cartoons from another one of Humorama's gals and gags digests from August 1959. You wouldn't know it's Humorama because it has a few artists not normally in any of their magazines.

Reamer Keller

Dave Berg?

Joseph Farris

It does have longtime ""Marvel artist Stan Goldberg though.

More originals for the fillers in sex magazines of the 50s and 60s that I've been posting here every Thursday.
