Relationships between men and women provided fodder for many gag cartoons, especially in the adult magazines published by Timely Features. The sharp-nosed secretary scorns her boss and he scolds her for failing to come to work on time. Her dress, inappropriate for work in the world of the 1950s, titillates. Thomas Jefferson Machamer (1900-1960) began publishing his cartoons and illustrations as a teenager and had a dual career with both mainstream periodicals and newspapers as well as adult publications. He drew the popular comic strip Gags and Gals for the New York Mirror and the Baffles for the Los Angeles Times. |
