Good Ol’ Days: Cartoons Magazine Centennial, September 1912

It’s time again for our monthly Cartoons Magazine Centennial Year Good Ol’ Days potpourri, looking back to the September 1912 issue.

End of Summer cartoons, above, by Kin Hubbard (creator of Abe Martin) and Ralph Everett Wilder, and below, by Billy DeBeck and others.

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

Above, Boy Cartoons by Robert Satterfield, John T. McCutcheon, and John Campbell Cory

Below, sports cartoons by A.B. Chapin, Wallace Anderson Carlson, and Harry J. Westerman. The bottom left cartoon refers to Baseball Hall of Famer Rube Marquad, while the bottom right is in reference to boxing champion Jack Johnson (by picturing yet another of his defeated opponents).

Above, Charles Henry Sykes, Cy Hungerford, Herbert H. Perry, and W.A. Ireland, on obviously better economic times, when business (according to this set of cartoons) couldn’t care less which of the three major political parties won the upcoming elections.

Below, by Bronstrup, Perry and Cory again, and, Gaar Williams, on a variety of common irritants.
