E. Simms Campbell and Jean-Gabriel Domergue in Esquire, August 1939

E. Simms Campbell takes a break from his usual cartoons of attractive women and instead tries to get inside the mind of a dog who has been left alone in the house. This dog's-eye view makes for a nice enough drawing, but one wishes the resulting gag were a bit less obvious.
"I'll give them 'til nine-thirty—if they aren't here then, I break training!"
E. Simms Campbell
Esquire, August 1939, page 54


On the other side of the page, the magazine features the work of Jean-Gabriel Domergue, whose favorite subject is very much the same as Esquire's favorite subject.

Note:  Good girl! Attempted Bloggery is surveying the work of cartoonist E. Simms Campbell (1906-1971). Readers can assist by providing high-resolution scans or photographs of hidden-away original Campbell art or of other obscure published works, even including more from this issue of Esquire.
