Gluyas Williams was another of those classic panel cartoonists who emerged in the 1920s, a contemporary of J. R. Williams, Clare Briggs, and H.T. Webster.
I don't know if his work ever made it to the newspaper Sunday color sections, but he did a daily for many years, and his work was often in magazines like the
New Yorker.
Williams had such a beautiful crisp clean line, and was very effective in spotting his blacks. He also had a wry sense of humor that came across more visually than verbally...
... and tended to emphasize the everyday situations that his readers could easily identify with. I hope you enjoy these few samples of his classic work.
