The true album of cartoons

Published in the United States, The True Album of Cartoons (25th Anniversary Edition) is an exceptional and highly collectible vintage graphic humor anthology celebrating twenty-five years of popular single-panel cartoons from True: The Man's Magazine. Known for showcasing premier mid-twentieth-century gag cartoonists, this commemorative volume collects hundreds of sharp, witty, and irreverent illustrations depicting mid-century adult life, military physical exams, domestic humor, and classic satirical scenarios.

The front cover features a striking coral-pink background with a horizontal light grey band across the center, framing a humorous line art illustration signed by VIP (Virgil Partch). The scene depicts a military medical examination where a doctor looks through a man's ears with an otoscope, projecting a beam of light showing a pin-up woman onto the wall behind him. Across the top field, title typography reads THE TRUE ALBUM OF CARTOONS in bold block lettering, while near the lower right margin, text marks the volume as the 25th Anniversary Edition. Inside, the pages are packed with classic black-and-white gag panels. An essential centerpiece collectible for vintage American magazine archives, gag cartoon historians, and 1950s pop culture art collectors.
