The “What, me worry? Kid” from 1949

This isn’t Alfred E. Neuman. Well, it is...but it isn’t. But it is...but it isn’t.

Since this is from 1949, it isn’t associated with Mad Magazine. I snagged this on eBay for a tiny amount of money, it was for charity, and I cannot resist charity usually.

It has a pinhole at the top...as if it had been on a...bulletin board. Imagine if this was THE image Kurtzman saw? I mean, it isn’t...but just think...? Anyway, it was for charity, it is a neat piece of history, and apparently somebody’s life, as somebody drew this for their dearest “Willie” to remind him or her of their love. Very cool.
