...Cartoonist Harold Morton Talburt of the Scripps-Howard chainpapers drew the week's ablest Third Termite cartoon-a paraphrase of Democratic Pressagent Charles Michelson's remark of last fortnight that "duty" might compel Franklin Roosevelt to run again (TIME, Aug. 15). While the President in uniform stands contentedly on the second (term) sack and a harassed elephant pitcher stands afraid to pitch lest the runner steal third, Mr. Manager Michelson runs out on the diamond shouting: "Aw quit worryin' about him! He ain't gonna run-that is he ain't unless...
TIME investigated the possibility of a cartoon page, thumbed down the idea for the present because there do not seem to be enough good cartoons for a weekly collection. Only a dozen U. S. cartoonists and about the same number abroad, are doing professionally acceptable work. Also 90% of U. S. cartoons are monotonously one-sided (anti-New Deal). But TIME, stimulated by its researches, will print more cartoons whenever they are pertinent as illustration, amplification or horrible example...
Sign King Leigh's real success dates from the day he got exclusive U. S. rights for 17 years on a moving picture-type of outdoor sign invented by Kurt Rosen berg of Austria-the electric animated cartoon.

Lit by 4,000 feet of neon tubing and 4,104 electric bulbs that flash off & on under photo-electric impulses, the advertisement, designed by Cartoonist Otto Soglow, runs...

...their acid comments, Low's cartoons have usually had an owlish, good-natured air that kept them from being really bitter. He presented people as stupid and self-righteous rather than wicked or frightening. For years his satire has been summed up in Colonel Blimp, a pathetically pompous old walrus who inhabits a Turkish bath and periodically sounds off. "Gad, sir," exclaims the Colonel, in a cartoon called Onward, Colonel Blimp! "the reason our government is always getting kicked in the pants is that it doesn't stand with its back to the wall." Although Low has carried...
