Focus on Cartoonists: Cartoons Magazine Centennial, March 1912, Part 5
Issue three of Cartoons Magazine, continued the focus on specific cartoonists, begun in issue two. For March 1912, the artist featured was Charles Bartholomew (pictured above, right), best known as “Bart“. Above left, Bart puts on display his patronizing & superior attitude of Latin Americans as children to be protected by the United States and its Monroe Doctrine — an attitude reflective of the majority of U.S. Americans at the time.
Beneath, Bart gives the facts about 1912 U.S. tobacco consumption, in Put That in Your Pipe and Smoke It.

Beneath, though not photo-featured, the March issue devoted two pages to artist Boardman Robinson‘s cartoons in the New York Tribune.
Finally from the March issue, below, Digging Up a Cartoon Idea, by H.T. Webster, depicting one of the difficulties of being a daily cartoonist.
