Gregory d'Alessio: Innocent Ankles

Cartoonist Gregory d'Alessio (1904-1993) published work in the New Yorker, Esquire, College Humor, and Collier's, and was syndicated nationally in newspapers. Later, he taught drawing at the Art Students League in New York. A clipping of a 1951 color cartoon of his published in Collier's can be found on Amazon, of all places. It illustrates the legal tactic of professing a female client's innocence to an all-male jury.
