Chon Day Cartoons
“I can’t even use my initials,” said Chauncey Addison Day. Signing his cartoons “Chon Day”, he was a cartoonist for The Saturday Evening Post from 1934 until his death in 2000. Here is a selection depicting why Day’s career was so long-lasting. The man was simply funny. (If you think the one below that references Kennedy and Nixon is from 1960, you would be right!)
