These were fun to read and I enjoyed so much, from top to bottom. We even have all 3 sections of the Fifties covered here. So my two favorites this week ARE the top and bottom cartoons from 1945 and ’59. The top one is wonderfully disturbing, and the bottom one quite unexpected. How often would Santa ever hear that?
The art style of the bottom one is unusual, having a ‘New Yorker’ look to it.
Enjoy so much!
Fun to read!
