Lászlo Roth: More Esquire Cartoons

This week we have seen a single example of artist Lászlo Roth's work as a New Yorker spot illustrator dating from the 1970s. We have also seen a trio of his color Esquire cartoons published in the 1950s. Jeff Nelson has now come forward with four more of Roth's Esquire cartoons, each published in 1955. As with the cartoons shown in yesterday's post, they make use of a variety of unusual media and include elements of collage.
