In the February 1938 issue of College Humor, cartoonist Reamer Keller weighs in with a carnival gag.
Note: The February 1938 issue of College Humor referenced above is one of more than 5,600 magazines—count 'em!—in the Steven Boss humor magazine collection at Columbia University. I took the photograph of this cartoon and many others while embedded in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library on March 10, 2016. The Butler Library which houses this collection is for the moment closed until further notice, but when it does reopen Curator for Comics and Cartoons Karen Green will be only too pleased to guess your weight.
Don't fear the Reamer. I am in the market for additional fine work by Reamer Keller. Objective: blogging. For the time being I'll continue to share what I've found on my own at the RBML in College Humor because I know how academic my readers are.
