Wouldn't it be something if Little League players were traded like the big league players! Guess that would mean contracts and big salaries, too.<br />

Don wasn't raised in a sports-minded family, so his knowledge of baseball only came about when son Errol became interested, first in the New York Yankees, then the New York Mets. Good thing a knowledge of the game didn't preclude Don from drawing this cartoon. It was published June 18, 1966, exactly 14 months before Errol was born.Don Orehekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08158888524127397900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183652961948142871.post-83999121777893213442011-05-16T14:24:00.000-04:002011-05-16T14:24:59.979-04:00Saturday Evening Post - Cartoon #19<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzM-hi5z0AEg93crYd290tDerPt1lDxywn6lYr1NTmDDZNryeGezhSQSibszPzlZsunLJcNbnvM6K34Pwks68Ei8dog5wAfTLyGLF1_VlDqyf2yFIxeNImUvAQeixgzNnpXdDJW9IZ6_cj/s1600/ServiceSuperb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzM-hi5z0AEg93crYd290tDerPt1lDxywn6lYr1NTmDDZNryeGezhSQSibszPzlZsunLJcNbnvM6K34Pwks68Ei8dog5wAfTLyGLF1_VlDqyf2yFIxeNImUvAQeixgzNnpXdDJW9IZ6_cj/s320/ServiceSuperb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Since this cartoon was published by the <i>Saturday Evening Post</i> way back in its September 1980 issue there is probably no way to know what Don was thinking as he sketched this gag. He's always enjoyed adding detail to his drawings, and this is a good example. We have birds in the sky: So is the ship close to land? Is that smoke rising from the sinking vessel? Other passengers are bobbing about.

The fabulous sports artist John Pennisi organized a bus trip for the cartoonists to go to the museum on Sunday, May 1. The museum is still under construction though an area displaying Yogi and Yankee baseball memorabilia is about complete. Too bad poor health prevented Yogi from enjoying the day.<br />

</div>Some gags insist on making the reader imagine what happens next! Isn't this one of those?<br />
No date for this<i> Saturday Evening Post</i> cartoon, but we can tell by the style that it's early 1960s.Don Orehekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08158888524127397900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183652961948142871.post-4858659156981532062011-03-31T14:40:00.000-04:002011-03-31T14:40:15.720-04:00Old and New: An Interesting PerspectiveHere is one of Don's favorite cartoons. He sold it so long long ago that his style has changed quite a bit, and he says he doesn't like the old style, so he redrew the cartoon - just because he likes the gag. The original was bought by <i>American Legion Magazine</i> and published in the September 1961 issue. Don tells that the editor burst out laughing when he saw the cartoon. As you may know editors tend not to laugh out loud - even if they love a gag - a result of looking at so many cartoons!<br />
Another story about this gag happened in the Colosseum in Rome. Don and wife Suzy we on the upper level looking at the massive arena and imaging what went on there in ancient times. A young couple approached Don asking him to take their picture with the Colosseum in the background. Don said Suzy is the photographer in the family. The couple posed and just as Suzy took the picture Don said "Say mozzarella!" The couple, like the editor, burst out laughing. The result was a great picture!<br />
<br />
Note the spelling of <i>mozzarella</i> in the original cartoon. Yes, that's the way it was printed.<br />

We've already posted ten from that well-known magazine at various times beginning in June 2009. So almost two years later we have decided it's time to show some more SEP cartoons from the 1960s and 70s. For those of you too young to remember what the cartoon business was like way back then, they will give you an idea. Some of the old subjects are taboo today though some are still with us. Either way, we hope they make you laugh.<br />
<br />
The cartoon posted here was published sometime in the 1960s.<br />

They are. Honest! He drew the Looney characters for a booklet called <i>Gadgets - The Great Food & Game Invention</i> created by Design Unlimited Culinary Concepts. It seems that "Gadgets" was the name of the establishment. The back cover offers the eatery as a location for Sunday brunch, birthday parties or even Sweet 16's, office parties and showers.

</div>There are still a few print magazines out there that buy cartoons. <i>Leatherneck</i> is one of them. This cartoon of Don's appeared in the February 2011 issue. Thank you, Marines! For buying cartoons and for everything else you do!<br />

Another cartoon from <i>Leatherneck</i> is post #15 in this blog.<br />

As they say in TV land, it's a spin off. The magazine was titled <i>Ladies' Home Journal Diet Club</i>. So naturally the cartoons had to do with women and dieting. We can't say how long this magazine lasted, not too long we suspect. Both cartoons Don sold to it were printed in 1970.

At a breakfast bar in the hotel where they were staying a lot of dapper Italian men were ordering lemon juice. Suzy thought she would try one. The only problem was that she hadn't noticed the Italians dumping tons of sugar into their glasses.

This one in 1989. We can't help commenting that that Rock 'n' Roll is here to stay!

(We don't have one, a copy that is.)<br /><br />Here's a "wacky quote" from the artist himself who is only a sports fan by coercion. He knows such a little bit about football that he asked how many halves there are! (Any similarity to the blurb on the back cover is purely coincidental.)<br /><br />Scholastic, Inc. published this book in 1991.Don Orehekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08158888524127397900noreply@blogger.com0
