I believe The National Observer was a Dow-Jones publication that didn't last too long. And I'm also pretty sure that Charles Preston, the editor of The Wall Street Journal's “Pepper . . . and Salt” cartoons for over fifty years (and still going), also handled the cartoons for this publication.
CAPTION: “Are they any good? They found ME a job, didn't they?”
Laff-A Day, the daily panel syndicated by King Features, was another market that for a long time had a popular cartoonist as Cartoon Editor — in this case, Bob Schroeter. I don't know if he bought this one, in 1967, but I was always doubly pleased when another cartoonist who I respected OK'd my work.
CAPTION: “Is a GY475 tube very expensive?”
Another one sold to Bill McIntyre at TRUE magazine. TRUE was one of the regular in-person stops on Wednesday in Manhattan — “Look Day” for the local cartoonists. “Look Day” at The New Yorker right now is Tuesday — go figure.
