Dorothy McKay editorial cartoons, 1937/1956

0.52 Cubic Feet Four large oversized flat file folders

This collection contains four editorial cartoons drawn by Dorothy McKay (1904-1974), an American cartoonist. Two of the cartoons are watercolor, ink, and wash on board, and two are brush and ink on board. Each work is signed as either "McKay" or "D. McKay" at its corner. Three of the cartoons were illustrated for Esquire magazine, where McKay was employed as its first female cartoonist, and one for Collier's magazine. Publishing marks and stamps appear at the recto and on the verso of each cartoon. The earliest cartoon, "Just grab one, madam, and cut out the twittering," published in Collier's in 1937, shows a woman in an elegant dress looking at a tray of desserts held by an impatient butler. The second cartoon, "He's still on his lunch hour, but I'll take the nickel," is dated November 1944 and depicts a man speaking to a woman as both look down at a monkey in a suit sleeping against a fire hydrant. The third cartoon, "Well, thank God you hear singing too, Dear...I thought I was going crazy in this lonely office" was published January 1954. The full color scene features a group of men singing at a bar with drinks and a man ducked into a telephone booth speaking this his wife, attempting to convince her that he is at the "lonely office." The fourth illustration, "Why don't you do something, dear, besides just make money?" is dated September 1956 and shows a husband and wife in their living room with the woman working at an easel.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
