Otto Soglow in College Humor, May 1937

In the May 1937 issue of College Humor, cartoonist Otto Soglow chronicles a frightening occurrence.

Otto Soglow, College Humor, Vol. 5, No. 1, May 1937, page 17

Note:  This copy of the May 1937 issue of College Humor is part of the Steven Boss humor magazine collection at Columbia University, one of some 5,600 humor magazines proudly housed in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library. That makes at least one leading university making good use of its shelf space. For more information on accessing the collection, contact Curator for Comics and Cartoons Karen Green, Columbia's secret weapon in the war on boring library stacks.

Help me give Otto Soglow his due. Help me make Attempted Bloggery a leading showcase for scans or photographs of original cartoon art by Soglow and other artists whose work appeared in the likes of College Humor or The New Yorker. Clippings of rare, published cartoons are also desired.

Arthur Rackham: Long Stories of Ghosts, Witches and Indians

Illustrator Arthur Rackham's 1916 book illustration tells the story of telling a story. Note that the light source is pretty close to the viewer's vantage point, as if we ourself are holding the candle or sitting directly in the fireplace.
