Sorry So Slow - A Soglow Update
While sorting through my piles of notes and papers left over after posting the big Otto Soglow piece a couple weeks ago, I happened upon another Soglow illo I somehow missed. Or at least I assume it's Soglow - it looks pretty authentic to my eyes. Anyway, it's a tiny spot from the June 1967 issue of Woman's Day magazine.
My folks had a book "wasn't the depression terrible" by Soglow. I remember a couple of the cartoons and a few of them are now online. But in the current context I've been looking for a copy and it is virtually unobtainable. In contrast to the usual Soglow cartoons these had dense captions. A couple of them:
1. "Cook is reading a travel book. Maybe she'll leave without asking for back pay" The book cook is reading is "Towards a Soviet America"
2. Bunch of Africans gathered around a white explorer type in a huge pot. "We my be cannibles but at least we know where our next meal is coming from'
3. Two guys watching a protest march. The signs the marchers are carrying read "These warehouses are stuffed with food and clothing and we are hungry and naked" Caption: I just got out of ten years in the insane asylum. What's going on."
If you can find and scan a copy you'd make me very happy.
