Weekend Spill: A Saxon Santa Cover; The Tilley Watch Online, The Week Of December 13-17, 2021

A Saxon Santa Cover 

I usually associate Charles Saxon covers with The New Yorker (and no wonder — he had 93 covers), but here’s a terrif TV Guide cover from the issue of December 24-30, 1977 featuring Saxon’s art. 

 

 

Saxon’s A-Z entry: 

Charles Saxon (self portrait from Best Cartoons of the Year 1947) Born in Brooklyn, Nov 13, 1920, died in Stamford, Conn., Dec 6, 1988. New Yorker work: 1943 – 1991 (2 drawings published posthumously). Key collection: One Man’s Fancy ( Dodd, Mead, 1977). One of the giants of the New Yorker’s stable of artists. He could do it all: covers, spreads, single panels.
