Some people have "natural" talent.
Thanks Jim. They are old school humor; after all the cartoonist is ~90 yrs old now. Unfortunately these today are the last of the funny ones I found.When I was a wee lad, Jack, my sister and I would occasionally - when the parental units weren't home - sneak into Dad's top dresser drawer where he had a couple of small booklets, about 4"x4." These booklets contained dirty jokes and racy cartoons, which we reveled in looking at again and again, because they were forbidden fruit.
They were probably from the fifties, maybe even the forties, or he got the from somebody at NCR, where he worked. The cartoons you have been posting, while not racy, have the same kind of style and flavor as those old books.
Two fellas arrive at the Pearly gates at the same time & just to be friendly one asked the other " How did you get here ? "
"I froze to death " replied the other "and you? "
" Well " he started " I was so convinced my wife was being unfaithful that I decided to return home early and catch her in the act. I looked everywhere but no sign of a lover. I was so upset about mistrusting her.....I had a fatal heart attack !"
" You should have looked in the freezer " said the other " Then we would both still be alive "
The saloon is filled with cowboys, cowpokes, and city slickers unwinding after the day is done (no doubt drinking "Corn Likker"), when a man comes in looking scared and distraught: "Hey, everybody, look out! Big Stan's acomin'!"
Immediately, everybody vacates the saloon, most without ever finishing their drinks, leaving the man behind the bar standing alone.
A commotion begins outside the swinging saloon doors, and a man comes crashing in. He's about 6' 8," probably close to 300 lbs, and built like a tank. He rushes in, goes to the bar and says, "Give me a shot of whisky, quick!"
The bartender fills his request, and as he pours, he asks, "What's the rush?"
To which the man replies, "Didn't you hear? Big Stan's acomin'!!"
