Focus on Cartoonists: Cartoons Magazine Centennial, May 1912, Part 5

The Cartoons Magazine for May 1912, placed focus on three cartoonists.

Above, photos and brief biographies of American cartoonists Fontaine Fox (whose first name they managed to mispell) and William Allen Rogers.

Beneath, early work by Danish artist Gerda Wegener (warning to those at work: clicking on her name will bring you to a site which includes samples of some of Wegener’s more sexually oriented work). Cartoons Magazine referred to Wegener as Europe’s answer to American female cartoonist, Nell Brinkley — whom ironically, to this point, Cartoons Magazine had yet to publish anything by.

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