Cartoons: Fridge Fun

Post Editors

A young man with a transistor radio slouches in comfy chair in front of a fireplace. Behind him, sitting upright in an identical chair facing the other direction, an older gentleman with a newspaper casts a disparaging look the young man's way. Between the chairs is a small table with a lamp and a sign that says, simply, "Silence."

Most of these are pretty funny. #2 (“Get your damn TV camera outta here!”) from 1953 illustrates why zoos needed to be (and have been) remodeled in the mode of the animals’ natural habitat, thank goodness. Love #1 and #3 too. #7 at the bottom while shameful, had me laughing.
