King Features Syndicate “Laff-A-Day”, 1967

Eli February 28, 2025 No Comments

This is another one of those gags that King Features Syndicate bought from me a long time ago — in the year 1967, to be exact. Of course, I had to do a finished drawing from my “rough”. KFS didn’t return my finished drawing or my rough and I didn’t make a copy of either of them. Nor do I have a tearsheet of the cartoon from the day that it was published. In my files, I found this older sketch of the gag, which may or may not be close to what my finished drawing looked like. If anybody has a copy of this “Laff-A-Day” printed cartoon from 1967, I’d love to see it.

King Features “Laff-A-Day”, 1967

This is not the finished drawing of the cartoon as it appeared in print. It is an earlier version from my files. I don’t have a copy of the final drawing, nor do I have a tearsheet of the printed cartoon. But I do know that King Features Syndicate published it as a “Laff-A-Day” panel sometime in 1967.

What can I say here? The gag was as old as the hills, even in 1967, and the newsprint color registration was horrendous, but this is an archive of my cartoons and, what the heck, “we all have to start somewhere”.

By the way, thirty years later I sold another version of this gag, with just four sales charts up on the wall. Which charts did I eliminate, and which did I change? You'll just have to wait and see.

OK, President Obama, what are you waiting for? Let's get people like this covered, so their medical charts won't have to go down so dramatically. (This was printed back in 1967, but I guess things haven't changed that much).

The Wall Street Journal, May 13, 1969

It seems to me now that, in my early cartoons for The Wall Street Journal and other financial publications, I was having a lot of fun with women's ignorance of the technicalities of the stock market and of money matters in general. That's not very true these days, and it's certainly not very p.c. — I doubt if I could get away with a silly gag like this today.
