Cops & Robbers From Dick Buchanan’s Files

Dick Buchanan has once again opened up his voluminous cartoon tear sheet files, and via Mike Lynch’s blog, gives us Cops & Robbers, 1939 – 1969.  See the work here (the post includes the above Larry Reynolds ice cream cone disaster drawing from Collier’s, December 23, 1939).

 Mr. Reynold’s Spill A-Z entry:

Larry Reynolds (Photo from I Feel Like A Cad, 1944; self portrait above right from Colliers Collects Its Wits, Harcourt Brace & Co., 1941) Born, Mt. Vernon, NY, c. 1912.  Died, March 4, 2002, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. New Yorker work: 3 drawings: Jan 7, 1939 / Feb 24, 1940 / April 6, 1940. Collection of Note: I Feel Like A Cad (drawings from Collier’s Weekly).  Link to Allan Holtz’s Reynold’s Stripper’s Guide Profile here.
