A Sketch Of Interest By New Yorker One-Clubber Bill Mauldin
Below you see a sketch (listed on Ebay) by the great Bill Mauldin. And below the sketch, the published version, in The New Yorker issue of April 1, 1950. Mr. Mauldin was one of the approximately 75 cartoonists who dropped by The New Yorker for just appearance (thus qualifying them for membership in the Spill‘s “One Club”). A few of those approximately 75 cartoonists had significant cartoon-related careers outside the magazine. Mauldin was one of those cartoonists (see his A-Z entry below).
