Here's a spot drawing by cartoonist Alan Dunn from the New Yorker issue of September 16, 1939. Spots are truly ephemera, used to relieve the visual severity of a page filled with type, and unlikely to ever be collected in any form after the original publication.

October 4, 2020 Update: I believe I misread this one. The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker doesn't consider this a spot drawing but a regular gag cartoon. No doubt it is meant to be a humorous commentary on privacy as the magazine's readers entered the 1939 election season.
