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:

Buford Tune's Dotty Dripple: Making a Splash

"This should stop your father from sliding down the bannister!" Original comic book cover art for Buford Tune's Dotty Dripple Comics #20 was sold at Heritage Auctions in 2004 for just $46. The comic book cover makes clear what we already know: that immature men misbehave and smart women are prepared to teach them a lesson. But what if the remedy is worse than the original offense?
