Peter Arno (1904–1968)

An early collection of Arno's work; if you compare it to his later cartoons, you can see both how the art evolved, and how the gag-lines developed. Early on, there's still a few of the multi-line gag lines existing. It's also perhaps a bit racier (and cruder) than some of his more sophisticated later efforts.

A collection of 1940s Arno cartoons, which means a lot of sly humour and beautiful draughtsmanship. Not much more needs to be said.

Hilariously funny one-panel cartoons mostly from the 30s and 40s. Some as timely today as 70 years ago.

This is probably the best collection of Peter Arno's comic panels that I have seen, most of which are from the "New Yorker". Each page is a well-reproduced single panel, and there are a few instances of Arno's "pure" art. The panels are from 1925 to 1968, well-chosen (not a clunker in the bunch, and many outright gems) superb pokes at the foibles and follies of contemporary society - particularly Society, capitalized.
