Esquire #1, 1 of 3

I've been reprinting lots of cartoons from Esquire on this blog, now here's the cartoons from the very first issue from Fall, 1933

If something was 50 cents eighty years ago, what would it be now?

It begins with an illustration by Nat Karson.

The next two by John Groth

Much of the material here is at least a generation old and therefore sometimes has racist and sexist standards we wouldn't conform to today. I try, but can't always do a line-item veto. Remember, if something has stereotypes it's posted in spite of them and not because of them. You're not wrong to be offended, think of it like a friend you like hanging out with 95% of the time but once in a while they embarrass you. My own attitude is to move forward.

Many of the images I posted between 2011-2013 were disappeared by the image bank I was using then but I still have most of the scans and am bringing them back slowly. Be patient.

Some people don't realize you can make images bigger by clicking on them or that there are earlier postings beyond this page. Well, now you know. You're welcome.
