Description
Titled "The Phoney Gravure Section", this wonderful cartoon appeared on August 1, 1931. Done entirely in ink washes to emulate black and white photos, Sweigert presents the funny and phony news of the day. His work on this page reminds me a bit of Roy Crane's Wash Tubbs of the period.

These are all great, Rob! It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think I like this one best. It looks like he had a lot of fun with his lettering, too.

I can do little but second Roger's sentiments. I will add that, once again, you have introduced me to something new and wonderful that otherwise I might never have learned about.

Holy cow! Rob, where do you find those treasures? Outstanding in every aspect! Incredibly well drawn, funny, intelligent, great layout & lettering, a unique & distinctive style. IMO, something like this can hold a candle to any Winsor McCay, George Herriman, John Held etc. masterwork. Proving again that some of the better art is not always the most expensive...
