Charles Cartwright: Starving Artist?

Dick Buchanan, the curatorial whiz behind the eponymous Cartoon Clip Files, is a man for all seasons—and that includes tax season. Here he provides us with a scan of a 1941 Collier's cartoon by Charles Cartwright, a cartoonist who has not previously appeared on this blog. The gag is set in an artist's garret where the artist's wife has learned of a new reason to possibly distrust him.

"Income tax? Paul! Have you been up to something?"
