Cartoon Cavalcade

A one-shot from Simon and Schuster, Cartoon Cavalcade (1943) is a single-issue anthology largely assembled by cartoonist Walter Berndt, best known for his long-running newspaper strip "Smitty." Rather than a continuing narrative, the book collects a variety of comic strip reprints and original cartoons, serving as a wartime-era snapshot of popular newspaper humor. Its significance lies in preserving a cross-section of the day's most beloved comic features in a single, accessible volume.
