Comical-type art in America
These are more illustrations from Comic Art in America. These first few cartoons are from the chapter A Century of Magazines: From Corny Almanacks to The New Yorker and most here originally appeared in the New Yorker
Frank Modell, 1954
Robert Day, 1947
Alan Dunn, 1954
Whitney Darrow, Jr., 1958
There are captions for all the cartoons now. They say:
The unforgettable Bobby Clark, made even more unforgettable in this caricature by AL HIRSCHFELD This was before he did the “NINA”s he's known for.
One of DON FLOWERS' curvy creations in a moment of fierce intellectual effort. Flowers' general title for this is Modest Maidens. (1949)
A Miss Jones by GREG D' ALESSIO, a versatile cartoonist who here specializes in the thought processes of stenographers.
The irrepressible REAMER KELLER this is from one of his Sunday pages. (1959)
VIRGIL PARTCH ignoring time and space again.
AL ROSS plumbs the mysteries of creation. (Look)
A sample of ED REED's Off the Record. (1955)
Frank O'Neal's FRANK O'NEAL's Short Ribs. O'Neal was a top-ranking panel cartoonist before he created this strip, which is one of the best of the simple, stylized, daily-gag strips.
Life's Like That, a FRED NEHER panel of 1959.
GEORGE CLARKE's panel The Neighbors. Only barely an exaggeration, and the basic problem is every parent's. (1948)
AL FAGALY and HARRY SHORTEN's There Oughta Be a Law. More happy cynicism.
A Side Glance by GAILBRAITH (WILLIAM GAILBRAITH CRAWFORD), who once directed his shafts at the moneyed and their mistresses, but in his newspaper pansl pokes fun at the happy middle classes.
DUDLEY FISHER's Right Around Home. Confusion, if not chaos, is Fisher's specialty. (1945)
They'll Do It Every Time, JIMMY HATLO's popular creation. The stuffed shirt punctured.

Great Cartoons of the World VII, part 8
These are more excerpts from the seventh annual volume of Great Cartoons of the World from 1973.
The first cartoon by William Steig was in the New Yorker.
In the foreword, editor John Bailey describes what the contributors look like (previous examples can be seen in previous installments):
Steig is a true intellectual in the physical form of a dockworker. He is mainly surprising—he looks tough, but he is gentle and civilized. He never speaks without expressing his sense of humor, most often with some detectable ironic twist. Nothing about the artist's following of the artist being an avid follower of orgone therapy. On the other hand, there are and were several cartoonists that believed in all sorts of medical, religious, and political quackery but it usually doesn't spill into their work.
Vahan Shirvanian, also in the New Yorker.
Mischa Richter
Bruce Petty
Vladimir Renčin in Dikobraz
James Stevenson
Charles Elmer Martin
Edward Koren
Hans Moser
Whitney Darrow, Jr.
The final two were drawn by John Glashan.

Great Cartoons of the World Series 7, part 7
Here is the seventh part of the book Great Cartoons of the World, Series 7 from 1973.
Chon Day in The Saturday Evening Post
Guillermo Mordillo
Charles Elmer Martin
Vlasta Zábranský for Rohác
Charles Addams for the New Yorker.This cartoon isn't that different from what's been going on in Brooklyn for the past ten years.
Editor John Bailey writes of the cartoonist in the introduction to the book:
The fascinating thing is, one cannot tell before meeting him whether an artist will be like his work, or will not be. Charles Addams does look slightly sinister, but the moment he speaks you realize he is not going to behead you. He is gentle and cultivated, and his creeping creatures are strictly the creation of his genuine spooky imagination.
Hans Moser
Donald Reilly for The New Yorker
Jean-Jacques Sempé for Editions Denoël
Pit Grove
Adolf Born for Dikobraz
Whitney Darrow, Jr.
