Yes, the humor in all of these is still relevant today. Whether that’s good or bad is up for debate. Regardless, it’s still an accomplishment with their all being from mid-century. I love the simplicity of the desks with just the phone and double pens sets.
Only 3 cigars seen in the 10 cartoons. I remember smoking (allowed) indoors up to 1986, unfortunately. Oh, and the shirts and ties going well into the 90’s. The latter I didn’t mind.

In my view Walter Goldstein’s cartoons are the best. They have an urbanity and pungency which makes me suspect he offered them first to The New Yorker. Their loss, the SEP’s gain.
