1946 Ad Of Interest
Spill friend, Warren Bernard of Small Press Expo aka SPX, has sent in the below ad for Shredded Ralston featuring New Yorker cartoonist, R. Taylor (the ad appeared in Look magazine, April 2, 1946). I’d never seen this photo of Taylor before. Good stuff! (my thanks to Mr. Bernard).
Below: A close-up look at Mr. Taylor at his drawing board. Below his photo it reads:
R.Taylor cartoonist, creator of those saucer-eyed people who enliven the pages of America’s top magazines
R. Taylor’s A-Z Entry:
Richard Taylor (self portrait from Meet the Artist) Born in Fort William, Ontario, Sept. 18, 1902. Died in 1970. NYer work: 1935 -1967. Collections: The Better Taylors ( Random House, 1944, and a reprint edition by World Publishing, 1945), Richard Taylor’s Wrong Bag (Simon & Schuster, 1961). Taylor also authored Introduction to Cartooning ( Watson -Guptill, 1947). From Taylor’s introduction: the “book is not intended to be a ‘course in cartooning’…instead, it attempts to outline a plan of study — something to be kept at the elbow to steer by.”

I’ve always loved this photo of Taylor that appears in his book, Introduction To Cartooning:
