...sometimes disturbing gag-drawings plus a short introduction by Magazine Writer Kyle (Redder Than the Rose) Crichton. "Virgil Partch is nuts," writes Crichton, ". . . but nuts in a nice American way." Partch fans found little that was Nelly-nice, less that was especially American. But they did find a fresh-cartoon humor, based on a slambang, explosive brand of fantasy. Example...
...barrels at the beginning of assembly, as they had always done, and would not test finished guns unless they came up in sequence. Result: when one gun was pulled out because of a faulty part, the whole test line stopped. Quipped one worker: "Production was like a Rube Goldberg cartoon-everyone and his brother was a foreman. . . .

The newly literate Russian masses have so vast an appetite for the written word that they are fascinated by news reports which U.S. readers would find dust-dry. The most that the reader gets in the way of entertainment is an occasional sardonic cartoon -usually aimed at Fascism. He finds a back page largely filled with cut-&-dried foreign news from the official agency, Tass. The front-page formula rarely varies: a Stalin Order of the Day (prikaz) in the two left columns, plus another two columns on military operations (svodka). The two inside...
