John Ruge gag cartoons from Collier's, circa mid twentieth-century. Click on images to enlarge them. Ruge sold gag cartoons as well to Playboy after Collier's folded in the 1950s. He also created a cartoon character, an Irish setter named Clancy.

These cartoons are enjoyable in so many ways. The lines are good and simple, the colors great, and the gag lines are silly and fun.
Please don't send me files and please don't tell me you have a print or a painting by one of these illustrators, or another, and ask me how much they are worth. Take the time to Google for information or seek an appraisal from a qualified art gallery.
