Color Barnaby Strip By Jack Morley who did the art for the strip during 1946-1952 while the strips original creator Crockett Johnson(known for creating Henry and the Purple Crayon) began to focus on writing kids books I honestly really enjoy the way this looks Morley was very good at imitating Johnson’s style and the color choices are nice.

June, 1914 Cover "Vanity Fair" magazine. From vintag.es.com.

Let’s start off with more Fleischer promotional art. Why do I find these so fascinating? Perhaps because they echo a time that is so definitely over, yet through these ads, it speaks, it winks, it’s going about its business, like the 1930s never ended.

I mean, place the ads in context: Marilyn Monroe is a little kid. World War II hasn’t started yet. Amelia Earhart flies from Honolulu to Oakland, Ca. The board game, Monopoly debuts.

These ads are like insects encased in amber.

More HERE, and HERE.
