Best Cartoons of the Year

From 1967 to 1971, Dodd, Mead and Company released five issues of Best Cartoons of the Year, a comic anthology that collected the year's most notable single-panel and strip-style cartoons. Most frequently illustrated by John Drummond, the series served as a tidy, annual snapshot of the era's humor and artistic trends, offering readers a curated look at the best of contemporary cartooning. Its concise run makes it a charming time capsule of late-1960s and early-1970s comic artistry.
