In the late 1950’s, Stan Fine did these “How Not to Get an Okay” cartoons for Look magazine cartoon editor Gurney Williams. Williams included them in a monthly newsletter he put out for cartoonists who dropped by his office on Wednesday “Look Day”. I have written about this extensively, and my most recent posting was just a few weeks ago — you’ll find it right here.

I have 26 issues of the newsletter, dating from April 1957 through August 1959, with a few months obviously missing. So this collection is by no means complete. Does anyone else out there have copies of Gurney Williams’ “Memos” ? Just wondering.

Yep, I’ve always liked this gag. Still do, I have to confess.

Report to Legal Management, March 1993

Okay, so here’s my beef with some (certainly not all) publications: they change my captions, without asking permission! My caption for this cartoon was “I’m a management guru — the regular guru is two mountains over.” I wish I knew which editor decided to change “a management” to “the quality” — I would have loved to tell him or her that the change ruined a perfectly acceptable gag.

I’m happy to report that most publications wouldn’t dream of changing the wording of a caption without asking permission. I’ve even been contacted by phone by editors who wanted to make a change, but wouldn’t do it without asking first.

Well, back in 1978, that would have been a BIG promotion.
