Review:
“Vane Lindsay's welcome book disinters much material. If it is not a Companion to Stan Cross it is certainly companionable . . . It is to be hoped that Vane Lindsay's brief but informative and profusely illustrated volume will, in spite of the famous injunction, keep the laughter flowing.” —Cartoon Art News
