The Gibson one must have been dear to the cartoonist, who claimed (in a cartoon in the collection I have) that his boyhood dream was to be Charles Dana Gibson's assistant.

One was found for cheap at a garage sale and that was a "thrill of a lifetime."

Webster" was the source of quotations and "headlines" like "Husband Astounds Wife by Successfully Changing Lightbulb" (inspired by the one that Ron mentions). Another favourite is the multi-panel "How to Torture Your Wife" in which the husband exclaims with delight and surprise at every course his wife brings out (in front of increasingly amused company).<BR/><BR/>Thenfred putnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772940597063074036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500704922792766299.post-76964649638974126192008-06-04T19:47:00.000-07:002008-06-04T19:47:00.000-07:00Not familiar with that one, Ron. send a scan and I...Not familiar with that one, Ron. send a scan and I'll add it to this post.<BR/>Johnjohn adcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601087030921802835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500704922792766299.post-15243513797529307232008-06-04T18:55:00.000-07:002008-06-04T18:55:00.000-07:00My favorite is the one about the husband is so pro...My favorite is the one about the husband is so proud he has repaired a doorknob.
