Let’s start off with more Fleischer promotional art. Why do I find these so fascinating? Perhaps because they echo a time that is so definitely over, yet through these ads, it speaks, it winks, it’s going about its business, like the 1930s never ended.
I mean, place the ads in context: Marilyn Monroe is a little kid. World War II hasn’t started yet. Amelia Earhart flies from Honolulu to Oakland, Ca. The board game, Monopoly debuts.
These ads are like insects encased in amber.
More HERE, and HERE.

Here are some illustrations from cartoonist Abner Dean’s(1910-1982) book “It’s A Long Way To Heaven”.Abner Deans a cartoonist I’ve become a bit obsessed with for one thing he’s very mysterious there’s not a lot of info on him but mainly for his art obviously just from these alone you can tell Dean had quite the imagination his surreal cartoon drawings in this book can range from interesting to disturbing but no matter what I love them all and I’m a bit upset we can’t know more about this artist.
