E. Simms Campbell: Cutie Coiffure

E. Simms Campbell's single panel cartoon Cuties was syndicated by King Features. An original cartoon panel from 1963 has just been listed on AbeBooks. One Cutie is reading in bed while another comes home from a date. The gag is only mildly suggestive, as befits a cartoon intended for a family newspaper.

February 20, 2023 Update:  Why not recycle a good caption? Campbell first used it in 1959:

"What a marvelous coiffure! Who rumpled it for you?"
