Here is a nostalgic photo of a number of famous cartoonists, sent us by the noted creator of “Freckles and His Friends” — Merrill Blosser. This was taken on October 10, 1949, on an occasion when the cartoonists had participated in a Treasury Bond Drive. One further help in identification. Note the feet of the 4 men standing on the first step — this will enable you to pick out the 4 listed in the second row.
