Lászlo Roth: Still More Esquire Cartoons

The third and final installment of Lászlo Roth's 1950s color cartoons from Esquire once again shows the artist mixing his media and playing with collage. Roth's approach is fairly uncommon and may have been an attempt to define a distinctive visual style for himself. Once again, Jeff Nelson has provided the images.
