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 Volume 4, part 6

Continuing from last week, here's even more from the book Great Cartoons of the World, Volume 4 from 1970, edited by John Bailey.

This was a Peanuts strip from the time. I have no idea why the panel borders were removed from this. And please don't spell “Schulz” with a T, that really bothers me. As do spellings of Winsor McCay with a K and Jules Feiffer with a P. If I were the administrator of a school with any kind of cartooning program, I would expel anyone who did that.

The editor writes about this strip in the foreword and, unlike you, spells Schulz correctly:

Schulz's shrewd comment on the little girl who professes to be fearful lest she hit a fish on the head is addressed to all little girl- and little boy-malcontents, as well as to some of our friends who are considerably older,who will find excuses for not having fun no matter what you provide for them. Bruce Petty for The New Yorker Edward Koren's New Yorker cartoon is also mentioned:

Koren uses a tradition that goes as far back as offices and desks,and with a small photograph neatly shows us that society is topsy-turvy, that things are not what they seem to be, and that you can't really depend on anything. These two are from Jules Stauber Sorry I couldn't get this any darker. Looks like Dirty Danny. Two-pager by Mischa Richter, also for The New Yorker John Glashan Jules Stauber The commentary on this New Yorker cartoon byWilliam Steig says:

His incident in the Battle of the Sexes, showing the revenge of a battle-ax for a marriage that she does not consider to be satisfactory—using food as artillery, in this case—and the pained reaction of her husband, who has been fobbed off with a hot dog for his evening meal because he has never come through with the big income. Jean-Jacques Sempé in Editions Denoël is also over-analyzed by the editor saying:

Sempé's lawyer, happy one minute and depressed the next, explains clearly that our experience of happiness is merely relative, and that some people are kings to us, just as we are kings to other people

I don't know how he knows this guy's a lawyer. John Glashan

Great Cartoons of the World Volume IV, part 5

Here are more excerpts from Great Cartoons of the World, Volume 4, edited by John Bailey, which I've been putting herefor the past few weeks.

Guillermo Mordillo Charles Saxon for The New Yorker who as is said of in the introduction, “reveals tremendous insight into children and the horrendous duties they are compelled to perform without quite understanding them.” These two are by John Glashan Frank Modell for The New Yorker did this cartoon which is also mentioned in the book's introduction:

Just as neatly, Modell ponts out the sad fact that love ends. Not for everyone, of course, but for some people, and, not infrequently, the most unlikely people.
