Three illustrations created by New Yorker cartoonist Whitney Darrow, Jr., for the Leo Burnett Advertising Agency seem a little puzzling without the full text they were meant to accompany. One of my leading theories had been that this series of drawings was created for a Personna razor blades advertising campaign—Personna is listed as the client on the back of each of these. It is now clear to me that they illustrate the "On Campus with Max Shulman" column which was sponsored by Personna.
In fact, two of these drawings have Shulman pencilled in at the bottom. The artwork dates from 1966 to 1967 or thereabout.
