Description

Title: Just Be Patient
Artist: Emidio “Mike” Angelo (1903–1990)
Publication: Just Be Patient: Cartoons by Angelo
Publisher/Date: Likely regional Philadelphia publication, c. late 1940s–1950s
Medium: Printed softcover book (cartoon anthology)
Dimensions: Approx. 6” x 9” (standard humor book format)
Provenance: Acquired for the Everson Collection to complement original Angelo editorial cartoons
Condition: Fair/Good — cover wear, scuffing, minor staining; structurally intact with visible aging
Status: Published volume (cartoon collection)

Historical Context:
This volume represents Angelo’s expansion beyond newspaper editorial pages into compiled humor books. Known for his biting wit in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Angelo’s cartoons skewered politics, society, and human foibles. Just Be Patient reflects his satirical approach to postwar American life, in this case parodying hospital culture and indulgent “get well” gifts.

Collecting Significance:
While Angelo is less widely known than national figures like Herblock or Mauldin, his regional influence was substantial. Books like this, produced in limited runs, are scarce in the market. Paired with Angelo’s original inks, Just Be Patient adds essential context by showing how his work reached broader audiences.

This image can be a get well card! It colorfully highlights what you'll be missing until you're discharged.
