Happy Comics, 2 of 3

Another in the line of Standard Comics' line of funny-animal comics, this is second part from last week of the 21st issue in September 1947.

You can tell this is by Jack Bradbury since it's one of the few funny animal comics that's actually signed.
He may have had a part in this, but I don't know. It's the same letterer but this doesn't have the same jagged panel borders.

Sex to Sexty Saturday

Here's more originals from Sex To Sexty by cartoonists well past their sixties if any are still alive.

This first one is by Bill Ward, perhaps the most prolific of the sex magazine gag contributors. Here we see what the magazine's readers looked like combined with what they think a hooker looked like.
This might have been a cover for the magazine, which used the same image on the front and back.
“Ah Sin” was the pen name of a cartoonist who got the name from the name of an Asian stereotype used by Mark Twain and other writers.

Click, part 19

Or at least I think it's the nineteenth part of the cartoons from the first Click Annual from 1940. Some of the previous 18 parts can be found in the archives or maybe in the LinkWithin highlights below.

I should ask contemporary Shaenon K. Garrity if this person is any relation.
Bo Brown
It's really hard to do searches on someone when they only signed with their first or last name.
