The late 40s was an interesting time for New York papers. The Sun, around this time, had Rube Goldberg for their editorial cartoonist, and was working very hard to stay alive (the effort failed; a few years later it would merge with the World-Telegram). Over at PM/the Star, they had Walt Kelly doing double duty as an editorial cartoonist and comic strip producer (Pogo had an early run, there), and this was after "Dr. Seuss" had done cartoons for them in the early 40s. I think "Barnaby" was also in the middle of its run on one of the minor papers around this time. Can't say those lads didn't try to do something different to stay alive.
