A regular installment of Peter Arno's "Side-Show" appeared in College Humor's issue of December 1936. All three cartoons deal rather distinctively with male-female relationships, a specialty of the artist and a subject of keen interest, no doubt, to the college crowd.

Original art for two of these three cartoons were consigned to the Nicholls Gallery in July of 1985. Thumbnail photographic images of the artwork from a gallery contact sheet are shown below, as well as the original art for the third cartoon which the gallery did not accept because of some regrettable paper loss. This and a number of other College Humor cartoons are in the archives here.  |

I have long sought to make this blog a virtual repository of original Arno art and all I need to continue doing this is . . . more Arno art. It sounds so simple, doesn't it? Please help me keep up this tradition by providing me with images of great Arno originals.
