Friend and contributor Dick Buchanan writes, "Just in the nick of time, a Mother's Day gag—sort of." Robert Day's 1955 cartoon for True magazine depicts two adventurous men gathering Andean condor eggs on an isolated cliff. One of them experiences an understandable pang of regret, but seemingly only on account of the calendar date.
Note: My thanks to Dick Buchanan for providing Attempted Bloggery with another fine scan right out of the storied Dick Buchanan Cartoon Clip Files. Dick contributes regularly to Mike Lynch Cartoons, most recently an essential post entitled "From the Dick Buchanan Files: Perry Barlow 1932 - 1961."
Attempted Bloggery seeks images of original art by Robert Day as well as other scans of long-forgotten published rarities like the one shown here.
