Most people, when they think of cartoonist Gahan Wilson, do not consider him a master of understatement. But if we pair a Playboy cartoon of his with a contemporary Bogart Creek panel by Derek Evernden, the subtlety of Wilson's composition becomes apparent. By the way, which cartoon do you prefer?

Note: Credit where credit's due: It appears I am not the first to notice the similarity of these two cartoons. John A. Kurtz pointed it out a year ago on the Cartoon Collections Facebook page here.
I didn't have the publication date for the Gahan Wilson Playboy cartoon when I first posted this. Thanks to David from Manhattan for providing chapter and verse.
