In Praise of the Little Things, Part 1

I find so many wonderful little spot drawings and cartoons in my collection of old magazines. The problem is, they are often reproduced so small and so randomly that I usually pass them by in favour of showing you some spectacular double page spread story illustration or full page ad.

This week however, I'm going to share a selection of tiny spots I've come across that are well worth more than a glance, starting with this selection of great little cartoons from various 1961 issues of Parents magazine.

























Who drew these great little spot cartoons? There was no credit line in the magazines I scanned them from. Could it be the work of Lowell Hess?
