The Good Humor Man and Four Other Cartoons by Lee Lorenz

Five early cartoons by Lee Lorenz were sold on eBay in the summer of 2015. Subjects include some harem business, a slip-up on waterskis, a jealous husband, the Good Humor man, and a speed trap surprise. They appear to be roughs but don't have to be, and they may or may not have gone on to publication somewhere back in the day.

Note:  While these cartoons appear to be unpublished, it's always possible they saw the light of day once upon a time, or another version of them did. If you've seen them in print, raise your hand.

Your Lee Lorenz art can have a new home here on this blog. Send in scans or photos and I'll see what I can do.
