George Price: Settling a Little Argument

Here's cartoonist George Price once again showing his affinity for carnival sideshow performers. Illustration House identifies this as a New Yorker cartoon, but it doesn't appear to be in the database. It is collected in Price's It's Smart to be People (1942) which also includes cartoons from Collier's and the Saturday Evening Post. Miles Orvelle in Flannery O'Connor: An Introduction suggests that this cartoon is one of several by Price that may have had an influence on the writer.
