Don has sold a LOT of cartoons in his career. Each numbered cartoon or illustration on the left side of this Blog is from a DIFFERENT magazine, newspaper, etc. Let's see if we can find out the total number of publications (places) where Don's work has appeared . . . . . (An unnumbered posting is a duplicate publication.)

122. Reader's Digest


This cartoon of Don's was reprinted in Reader's Digest, October 1996. Credit to the original purchaser is given in small print in the margin:

OREHEK © KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, INC. WORLD RIGHTS RESERVED, REPINTED WITH SPECIAL PERMISSION OF KFS.

The page on which the cartoon appeared is titled Campus Comedy and includes a dozen jokes and antidotes sent in by readers. For the most part at the time when this gag was reprinted, cartoons were "found" by the Digest editors, and they contacted the original purchaser and cartoonist, a nice change from having to pack up a batch and send it off with a stamped, return envelope -- except when the original purchaser took a cut of what Reader's Digest paid.
