  1. Great business cartoons. Numbers one and five are the best. And I agree with Bob…The “merger off” antics are not out of reach.

  2. Some great ‘business’ cartoons here from the ’60s. My favorite is # 5 down from 1961, “The merger is off!” Somehow I can imagine this actually happening, or nearly so. I love #1 too. The very idea of this is just so embarrassing, it’s wonderful. As far as #3 goes, CAN the theatrical make up man make this boss look more humble… can he?!
