Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. (tear to top right corner of front freepage; whitish stain to front cover. Internally clean and tight) //////// "Cartoon Cavalcade" by THOMAS CRAVEN. AMERICANS pride themselves on their rough-and-tumble humor. This is the country of the belly-laugh and the wisecrack, the soek-in-the-bean joke, the kick-in-the-pants side-splitter, and latterly the delightfully mad psychopathic-spoofing of Thurber and the macabre and sophisticated Charles Addams pleasantry. We also laugh loud, long, and healthily at ourselves, and we are suspected of having invented pie-throwing as a form of amusement. In Cartoon Cavalcade, Thomas Craven, taking time out from publicizing the more serious arts, has compiled a much needed, inexpensive picture hi story of some sixty years of American laughter and, inherently, American social and moral comment. As toastmaster and host at this typically American feast, Mr. Craven is perfection. His three informal essays on American cartoon artists, trends, and personalities are meaty after-dinner speeches not too long, anecdotal, well-informed, casual, personal, charming, nostalgic. And he is also unusually fortunate in his feasting, for his delicacies have been prepared by master graphic chefs ranging from A. B. Frost 83 to Carl Rose 43. There are entire comic strips in this ample book; big slices of Charles Dana Gibson, Tad, Thurber, R. Taylor, Peter Arno, Steig, Soglow, John Held, Jr.; and examples of the work of some 168 others.
