An example of original cartoon artwork by Claude Smith from 1957 is executed in black ink with a blue wash which indicates where the gray tone was to be printed. The cartoon shows a married couple at home consuming the competing media of newspapers and television. The six-panel cartoon with the title Behind the News was published somewhere in 1957, but wherever it appeared it was not in the pages of New Yorker.
Note: If you know where this cartoon was first published back in 1957, well, I'm very impressed with you. Drop a line and share your information with the blogosphere. I'm secretly hoping it's from Punch.
