We found Saturday Evening Post New Year’s cartoons back as far as 1953 – and they’re still funny!
"If the job ages you that fast, I’m not sure I want it."
from December 1980
The kid has a point!
"I can’t go to bed! Mr. Ambruster got there first."
from January 30, 1960
We don’t know what was in those drinks, but Mr. Ambruster didn’t even make it until little Billy’s bedtime.
"Greetings, whoever you are."
from January 30, 1960
You don’t want to know.
"What happened to the first?"
from January 2, 1954
Mr. Ambruster, we presume.
"Happy New Year."
from January 3, 1953
I don’t even mind admitting that this is more like my New Year’s.
"Mommy didn’t think she had that much fun over the holidays!"
from January/February 1996
It’s the teddy bear.

My best New Years Eve was Dec 31, 1959-Jan 1,1960 in Seoul, Korea. I had only 2 weeks to go to come back home to Indiana/Illinois. You might also say that Uncle Sam woke me up.
Very funny. The one with the couple watching the TV New Years Party by themselves is more true than funny. If nobody is staying home watching TV on New Years Eve they wouldn’t have Dick Clark (Guy Lombardo at the time of the cartoon) on TV every year. Have a Happy New Year’s Eve, Mr. Ambruster and all of you at the Post.
