Charles Addams's New Yorker cartoon from the issue of July 21, 1962 has no caption, but there are still quite a few words to take in. The key word is right in the middle of the factory wall so you won't miss it.

| Victor de Pauw Spot drawing The New Yorker, July 21, 1962, p. 30 I identified the artist on September 6, 2024. |
Note: In his 1964 wedding announcement, the Times described the drawing's recipient, Marten Loewengart, as a tanning company officer. So it may really have been the shoe subject matter that interested him in this cartoon.
I am eager to fill this blog with images of original art by Charles Addams. Please let me know what you have. After all, Halloween is coming.
Victor de Pauw's superb spot work has been noted here previously. I would be happy to hear from anyone with additional relevant material on this artist.
