Monday Cartoon Day
Here's another genrerous helping of Virgil Partch' lovable blow-hard Big George. I am prefacing it with another VIP Wheaties ad. Wheaties loved to employ cartoonists and I have shown several of their ads before. I am cloding with a rare VIP cartoon piece from a late forties/early fifties newpaper magazine. This kind of feature was popular then, a collectio of cartoons by one cartoonist. Here Partch proves he is the best cartoonist of his generation. Compared to that, Big George is but a pale reflection of his talent, certainly when it outstayed it's welcome in the seventies and after that. It is said that Partch made these cartoons so quickly and easily, that at the time of his death more than a whole year of them was still unpublished. In the seventies he found another way to handle the fact that he could do two cartoons a day... which I will show in some later post.
