The dapper gentleman proudly proclaiming his paternity might be at home in today's America, but at mid-century he receives an indignant glare from the nurse at the maternity center in this humorous cartoon, probably published in Esquire. The richly illustrated cartoon is by Dorothy McKay (1904-1974), née Jones, who trained at the California School of Art and the Art Students League in New York and quickly made her name as a humorous illustrator and cartoonist for such magazines as Esquire, the New Yorker, Life, and Colliers. |
