Popular Book of Cartoons
“The American comic cartoon is as unmistakably a native product as the automobile or the electric refrigerator. Where English humorists specialize in the dry chuckle and the artists who contribute to La Vie Parisienne and other French magazines have developed the bawdy snigger to a fine art, our artists aim for the belly laugh—and get it. Breezy absurdity with a minimum of vulgarity is their metier—and breezy absurdity with a minimum of vulgarity is what a choice selection of our foremost cartoonists has provided for this anthology.” — Popular Book of Cartoons, Ned L. Pines, ed., 1946 (from the dust jacket)
