Every month, Cartoons Magazine gathered & reprinted cartoons from newspapers and publications in the U.S., and world-wide. This of course meant a delay, between original appearance in the papers, and their reprinting in Cartoons Magazine, which is why today’s grouping of Titanic cartoons — on this, April 14th, the 100th anniversary of the Titanic striking an iceberg — are from the May 1912 issue.

Tomorrow, on the centennial of the Titanic’s sinking beneath the waves, we’ll present a second grouping of Titanic cartoons, from the June issue.

Click on the above & below pictures, to view the cartoons in detail, and read their text.

Amongst the “name” cartoonists contributing, are W.A. Rogers and John DeMar (both above), and Nelson Harding and Ole May (below).
