Reid Cartoon Collection Makes Unique Display
By JERRY KNUDSON
University Daily Kansas
A unique display opened at stimulates, amuses, and informs collection of cartoons, which was nalism 20 years ago.
One notices a vast difference between the techniques and content of the old and the new. Most of the old ones noted above are simple line drawings that exploit gentle, humorous home situations or the country buckin farce. But, with
Then there are old-timers that parents and grandparents remember with affection, but are unknown to the present college generation: Debeck's "Sparkplug"; Herriman's "Crazy Kat" (the "Pogo" of the 1820's); Briggs' "Mr. and Mrs." and Rube Goldberg's "Boob McNutt."
The exhibit of about 50 selections in the two side rooms off the second floor landing will remain for several days. They are being shown in connection with the visit of Mrs. Robert S. Wild, daughter of the Kansas artist who donated the collection.
A great many favorites of the popular strips are here in the form in which they came from the artists' drawing boards. There's George McManus" "Bringing Up Father"; Fontaine Fox's "Toonerville Trollley"; Jimmy Hatlo's "Little Iodine," and "They'll Do It Every Time"; Chic Young's "Blondie"; Tom Simms" Popeye"; Russ Westover's "Tillie the Toller"; Carl C. Anderson's "Henry"; Dudley Fisher's "Myrtle" and others.

few exceptions, in the modern strij we find the haw-haw kind of humor or the dramatic suspense type with sophisticated drawing that no longer can be called "funnies".
An evolution is also evident in the political cartoons. Two early ones condemning the Tammany ring have an engraving-like quality; the flapper-tone illustrations of the 20's have a "Godey's Ladybook" hangover; then came the clearcut caricatures of the 30's which have endured with modifications of the sober approach type, such as two of Fitzpatrick's done for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Mr. Fitzpatrick moves away from delineating a public figure as either a vermin or a God-savior, depending on the paper's policy.
Between the political cartoons and the "funnies," there are humorous panels that still have biting comments. One by Fred Neher has a civic leader standing outside an enraged jailbird's cell, saying, "But what in the world do you do for female companionship?"
And there's one by Farr of a small boy sitting on a stump in a ramshackle neighborhood, thinking, "Oh, boy—'cordin' to this book I certainly picked a swell place to be born if I hafta grow into a success."
Even this brief sampling of the graphic impact of cartoons indicates that they reflect the times in which they were created. When the Albert T. Reid collection is placed on full exhibit in the Journalism building next year, a more complete survey will be available showing man laughing at and criticizing himself—through the medium of the incisive cartoonist's pen.
