Hot Rod Cartoons, 2 of 4

These pages are from the same issue of Hot Rod Cartoons I posted last week.

It was one of many car-centered humor magazines, mostly from Petersen Publishing, which published regular car magazines as well. They were different from the humor magazines that were mostly inspired by Mad. Those magazines had many of the same artists, or work you'd see in other magazines or on animated shows. Sometimes with the car comics you had artists like Alex Toth, Robert Williams, Gilbert Shelton, Jim Woodring, but that was because they lived in California. Remember, at one time you had to live in the same city as the magazines you worked for, which was why you had West Coast cartoonists as opposed to East Coast ones. I dig those clothes they wear.

Hot Rod Cartoons, 1 of 4

One of the many of the West Coast magazines from Petersen Publishing in the 60s, mostly centered on car culture. Previously I've posted pages from CAR-Toons, Drag Cartoons, and Surf-Toons. Some day I'll have issues of Cycle-Toons, which I've never seen. Here are some pages from Hot Rod Cartoons, this one from November 1966.

I believe the person driving is probably Pappy Lemmons, one of the main custom car figures like Ed “Big Daddy” Roth.
