...Youmans last week about a cheap, simple blood test which may reinforce and partly replace the tuberculin test. Most important to Dr. Middlebrook is the simplicity of his proposed airborne vaccination: "It would be easy to immunize a theater full of children while they were watching a Mickey Mouse cartoon...
Born on the wrong side of the tracks, Ernie is the sort of stop-at-nothing cartoon capitalist who not only moved over to the right side-he also bought the tracks. The camera discovers him, in sleek middle age, roaring it up as the beast of the board room of the Eastern & Portland Railroad, whose cringing miscellany of vice presidents is pleading with the "general," as he likes to be called, not to ruin a poor helpless widow (Doris Day) and her two small children.

This theme-the old South in an agonizing self-appraisal-is subtly stitched through most of Baldy's work, now and then shows up with stark clarity, as in the cartoon that won him a Sigma Delta Chi award last month (see cut).

...collection of his Voice pieces came out a few years ago, entitled Sick, Sick, Sick, and now Passinonella and Other Stories, a collection of four longer cartoon features, is also among us. They can be read, or rather looked through, in about a half hour apiece, and this is pretty quick considering that Passionella retails for $1.75 in paperback. But there is not much else to do except to plunk down even these enormous sums, unless you can borrow, steal, or arrange to be given the books, because Mr. Feiffer is a deft, knowledgeable and brilliantly witty cartoonist, satirist...
