More gag originals

This cartoon byBill Ward says “Of course they're the real thing, Veronica, and I hope it's the real thing between the two of us.”. Crossed out is “...it wouldn't do to have anything false just there!”

I don't understand why the artist ruled the caption when the lettering wasn't going to be used.

Caption added by the seller of the art.

“Can I have the keys to the car? I'm leaving you.”

or “I answered the advertisement under Equal Opportunity; didn't you have a room for rent?”

Dave Berg

“When you aked me to come up for an audition I didn't believe it would be for this kind of tape.”

or “Well, as a student of history, I'd say that this is your last full measure of devotion.”

Bill Wenzel

Leo Garel

“They must be college men. Look how they're watching the game.”

and later they use “This proves my theory that most men enjoy spectator sports—notice their interest in that football game.”

Random Men's cartoons

Here more more cartoons from random girlie magazines from the 1950s and 1960s, most of which I found the originals of on the internet.

Many of these cartoons were sold with just the drawings, the captions added later by the editor. This was the caption guessed by the seller of the art.

Also captioned by the seller

The caption here is, “I have a terrific story. If we're ever rescued and get it published we'll continue to add new chapters.”

There seem to be a few different captions for this because it was presumably recycled many times.
One is: ”Oh my goodness, you're the friend who's going to play golf with my husband.”
Another, which seems to be cut off, is:”My husband will be really 'Teed Off' if he finds out!”
