Once More for O'Brien

Immediately below 1967, all other samples 1957.

O'Brien

There was nobody quite like O'Brien. From Broadway Laughs, Crestwood Publishing, NY, February 1967.

Cartoon Jamboree Jan. 1957

Cartoon Jamboree's gag cartoons were on the low end of the scale compared to the New Yorker and Esquire. The color covers, front and back by Bill Wenzel, were a treat, and some of the cartoonists, such as Ali and Bernhardt, appeared in more upscale magazines. Cartoon Jamboree was published in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the star of the magazine was O'Brien with his simply drawn clodhopper fifties male characters and curvy alluring women.
