Doodling Along

Monday Cartoon Day.

Jay Irving is best known for his to series about a full figured cop, who was called Pottsy in the Herald Tribune Sunday only from the late forties and Willie Doodle from the New York Sunday News Sunday only series in the fifties and sixties. Before all that he did page filling cartoons about rotund authority figures in the army for the racy broadsheet Click, a sort of forties forerunner of Playboy that you bought for the articles but read for the pretty women and the cartoons.

No Clicking

Jay Irving was a prolific artist, whose Sunday only Willie Doodle for the Herald Tribune was picked up later as Officer Pottsy for the New York Sunday News. In the early forties he drew cartoons, such as these large ones for Click magazine.
