About this Collection

This collection celebrates seventy-five years of American magazine cartoons, showcasing the work of legendary cartoonists from the early 20th century through the 1970s. It features a wide array of characters and figures that appeared in popular magazines, including political icons like Richard Nixon and Josef Stalin, literary figures such as Ernest Hemingway, and classic comic characters like the Addams Family (Gomez, Morticia, and Grandmama), Tarzan (John Clayton), and biblical figures like Adam, Eve, and Noah. The volume offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of cartooning in the United States, highlighting the artistry and cultural commentary of the medium.

In "Two Strikes and the Bases Full," Pete finds himself outwitted in a quiet moment of labor when a fellow worker’s promise of shared lunch turns into a lesson in trust and timing. Written, drawn, and inked by C. D. Russell, this 1975 cartooning piece captures a small, telling moment with subtle humor and careful detail, while Charles Saxon’s cover brings a sharp, expressive energy to the scene.
