The Great Depression in Cartoons, Part 6:
“Greeting Cards for the Depression”

As the chief designer for a greeting card company, I could not resist giving this cartoon, “Greeting Cards for the Depression,” by Nate Collier (and “W.W.S.”), a post all to itself. Although the cartoon appeared in Life magazine on April 17, 1931, most of its gags could scarcely be more relevant today. (As always, for a larger, more readily legible image, just click on it.)

Don’t overlook the rest of our series on Life’s cartoons from the Great Depression! And there’s much more to come!
